TL;DR
The quick answer
Pick Dentistry Dashboard if
- You run a dental practice and want a dental-built tool
- You need TOIL, associate wages, or locum-aware payroll
- You manage 2 or more clinics on one account
- You also want AI Notes, compliance, and patient comms in one place
- You want AI to draft your rota for you
Stick with Findmyshift if
- You run a non-dental shift-based business
- You only need basic scheduling and a notice board
- You have very simple, predictable shift patterns
- You do not need payroll integration or audit trails
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.
