Don’t leave a cavity in your finances

Hiring someone to cover your position when you’re unable to work can put a huge dent in your finances, especially if you have an illness or injury that lasts a long time. Not only that, but you may have overheads at your dental practice that you need to pay for too.

Dental locum insurance from Wesleyan pays you a regular income that you can use two ways. It’ll help you pay someone to carry out your normal duties if you’re unable to work or it can cover the ongoing practice expenses that you’re responsible for, including rent, staff salaries and interest on loans.

Protection for your practice

If you’re a partner or run your own practice, it’s your responsibility to find cover for yourself or your employees in the event of illness. A Specialist Financial Adviser from Wesleyan Financial Services can help evaluate your needs and establish the right level of cover for you.
