John Stanfield, Hygienist & Therapist Symposium Chairman

Saturday 5th March: 15.00-15.45
Get what you deserve or deserve what you get – have you got what it takes?

Do we always get the job, the working conditions or the pay we want or deserve?  Sometimes we get what we deserve but it is not what we want.  To get what we want we need to demonstrate that we do deserve it.  This sometimes controversial look at the ‘them and us’, can we see it from both sides so that we know how to better handle the discussions we all avoid.
