Welcome to What I Wish I Knew by Dental Head Start. This is a podcast where we learn from people that have been there, made the mistakes, learnt the lessons and have developed into the accomplished dental professionals they are today.

It’s your weekly mentoring session.

Hosted by Erica Hwin

I’m young, fit and healthy…do I really need health insurance? Can’t I cheap out and just not buy travel insurance? What exactly is professional indemnity?

Just like tax, there’s a lot of different types of insurance. And when we haven’t directly experienced a sticky situation, it’s often hard to see the value of it or understand what they entail.

In this episode, Bhupesh Kaphle talks us through the basics of insurance and why it’s important. At the end of the day, you’d rather have your back covered, than to have regrets when things don’t go to plan. 

Bhupesh is Partner in the Business Services team at BDO in Australia. As a tax and advisory specialist, he works collaboratively with private and entrepreneurial clients to help them understand their unique business challenges and opportunities.

Bhupesh specialises in working with the dental and healthcare sectors. He has established strong relationships with industry experts and works closely with dental practice owners to assist them in maximising their practice profitability and identifying key risks for mitigation.

Bhupesh is experienced in developing and implementing systems, processes and strategies to better position clients for the future. He understands the importance of quality, tailored advice that is grounded in accounting and taxation practices.

Dental Practitioner Support is the first national 24/7 telephone and online service to support dental practitioner health and wellbeing in Australia.

The service is free, confidential and independent. Remember, good practice involves seeking support when you need it. Dental practitioners can call and speak to an experienced team ready to provide advice on a wide range of issues, including mental and physical health, workplace issues and general wellbeing.

Call them anytime you need, and even save the number in your phone so that it’s there on the day that you need it.
