This is not a sales dashboard, and the distinction matters clinically. A patient who understands a plan, considers it, and declines it is a good outcome — it closes cleanly and it is recorded. A patient who was never asked again has an untreated problem that gets worse and more expensive. What this practice counts is decisions recorded, not treatment sold.

A plan followed up inside thirty days converts at 41%. At six months it is 2%. The largest pot of money is the one that is almost certainly gone.

Four and a half hours of chair time will be empty today. Forty-one patients on the standby list would take a slot at short notice, and 214 patients have treatment already diagnosed and waiting. Nobody has connected those two lists to today's gaps, because it means three screens and a phone.

Ten points below target, every month, for a year. At Bramfield's hourly yield that gap is roughly £310,000 a year of chair time that was paid for and not used.

The coordinator follows up seven times in ten. The dentists do not. That is not a criticism of the dentists — they are in a surgery with a patient in the chair. Every plan a clinician presents without a coordinator attached is a plan that depends on somebody remembering.
