- Self-Improvement
Outside the Mouth is a series dealing with the health and wellbeing of dental practitioners and their families, brought to you by Guild Insurance, protecting Australian dentists for over 18 years.
There is an expectation in the medical and dental profession that practitioners will not make mistakes. If one accepts that failure is an inevitable part of learning and mistakes are sure to happen, is it possible to continually strive for excellence whilst maintaining a healthy mindset in the workplace? Dr Bill Bestic, a former officer in the New Zealand SAS and now an emergency and trauma surgery anaesthetist in Sydney talks with Dr Rohan Krishnan, a Sydney-based dentist, about high-performing cultures and the management of errors in their day-to-day operations.
