Our speakers
Sarah Buxton

She specialises in all aspects of HR and employment law including producing bespoke self-employed hygienist/therapist agreements, associate agreements and employment contracts.

Dawn Dickson
Dawn is Head of the Davidson Chalmers Employment & HR Team and advises dentists, doctors, and other health professionals on a range of employment related issues including recruitment and selection, discrimination, TUPE transfers and performance management.
The Davidson Chalmers Employment & HR Team has extensive experience advising employers and employees alike, so understands both sides of any issue. The team works in partnership with clients to resolve employment issues in a practical and commercial way.
Dawn has recently advised a number of dentists on the issues around the employment status of dental associates.
