Apprenticeships That Work: How PTP and Pelsall Lane Dental Practice Are Shaping the Future of Dental Nursing

Dental professionals are always needed, making it a stable career with growth potential. The UK dental industry is worth over £9 billion, offering competitive salaries and opportunities.

The Dental Nurse level 3 apprenticeship gains you a nationally recognised qualification, such as the GDC-approved Dental Nursing certificate.

For dental practices, apprenticeships help with recruitment, retention, and building a resilient team. They’re also cost-effective and supported by government funding.

One of our clients that we support is Pelsall Lane Dental Practice, and you will see below a bit about them and how the apprenticeship has supported them:

Pelsall lane Dental Practice:

The practice has been in the Kotadia family for the past 30 years, originally owned by Dr Altaf Kotadia. In 2016 his daughter Dr Aleeya Kotadia Joined the practice – she took over the ownership of Pelsall Lane Dental practice in 2022.

“We are a predominately Private Dental practice. Offering a kind, relaxed and understanding approach to our patient’s dental health. Any concerns patients have are always listened to and our modern health promoting approach means:

  • Fewer fillings
  • Less likelihood of toothache
  • More choice
  • Reduced costs
  • Keeping your own teeth for as long as possible

We believe quality, private dentistry should be available to everyone. That’s why we’ve set up our Dental Care Membership: to help our patients keep their smile in the best possible condition whilst spreading the cost monthly.

We always try to offer apprentice positions for dental nursing within our practice and have worked closely with PTP for many years.

We have always received excellent support from everyone at PTP, and the trainee assessors are always on hand to help with any questions we have as employers or that our trainee’s may have during their apprenticeship with our practice.

At present we have an apprentice that is part way through her course and with support from PTP and our practice is progressing well in all areas of her apprenticeship.”
