Why dental practices switch

Findmyshift is general purpose. We're not.

Findmyshift is built for any business that runs shift work. That means dental practices have to invent workarounds for things like associate UDA tracking, locum cover, surgery room conflicts, and CQC audit trails. Dentistry Dashboard was designed around dental workflows from day one. The AI Rota Assistant drafts your whole month from a few sentences in plain English, and the same subscription covers AI Notes, patient comms, and compliance logs.

What you get when you switch

The features dental practice managers tell us made the difference.

AI Rota Assistant

Plain-English rule input ("Sarah every Mon and Tue, max 35 hrs for part-timers") drafts the schedule and flags conflicts before you publish. Findmyshift requires manual building every week.

Real TOIL ledger

Per-staff balance, manager-approved corrections, audit trail, and TOIL hours that flow into payroll. Findmyshift does not have native TOIL tracking.

Multi-clinic by default

Unlimited locations on one account, shared boards, cross-clinic linked staff, single payslip per person. Findmyshift treats each location as a separate team.

Associate wages and locum cover

UDA-aware wage tracking, payment statements, income and deduction panels, locum-aware exports. Findmyshift handles general payroll only.

CQC-ready audit log

Every shift edit, approval, and TOIL adjustment is logged with attribution. Useful for inspections and disputes. Findmyshift has basic activity logs.

A whole practice OS, not just a rota

The Practice Hub bundles the rota with stock, AI invoices, payroll, boards, lab tracker, and CQC compliance helpers. AI Notes (Dentist Zone) and the AI website chatbot are sold separately. With Findmyshift you would need 4 to 5 separate tools.
