Uniform and Transport
INTERVIEWS & TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
It's best to plan and sometimes book ahead to arrange transport for your interview or new job. Britain has a good network of flights, railways, and bus routes if travelling in for an interview from abroad or intercity in the UK.
Interview expenses are the responsibility of the interviewee and not refunded by the practice so it's in your best interest to find the best value reliable travel options.
Train travel tends to be more expensive than intercity buses or coaches. Several airlines offer cheap deals on intercity flights outside peak holiday periods so do check these out.
When arriving from a long distance, always plan to arrive early. Britain's trains and sometimes planes are prone to delays. Certain motorways are prone to congestion at peak periods which can result in delays of up to several hours. Notable black spots are the M25 around London and the M6 near Birmingham. For a morning interview, arrive the day before.
There is also the possibility of car hire rental if you have several interviews within driving distance of each other. And, if you're flying in from abroad for an interview, arrange for car rental beforehand to ensure that a car is available and ready for you on arrival.
There are various companies that stock uniforms for dentists and dental staff and your principal may suggest a company that the dental practice uses regularly

DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PRACTICE
If the dental practice you're visiting is in a city or town, always ask for directions and advice from the practice. If your point of arrival is a railway or bus station, the dental staff will be able to let you know whether it's within walking distance, which buses to catch or whether a taxi is the best option. The Multimap or similar sites will enable you to print out a map showing the location of a dental practice.
