    Hello

    Does anyone have any thoughts on:

    1) what is a fair percentage to expect to pay a medical centre to take in payment for secretary, hicaps, bookings, cleaning, sterilisation of tools and room?

    2) Should they provide an appropriate chair esp if it only is one day to start with?

    3) Carpeted consult rooms!!!! with plastic floor protectors as floor coverings?

    Many thanks for any thoughts/intuition/knowledge

    40% and you supply the chair, instruments, equipment and disposables.

    I should have checked that you were Australian?

    Hello PodKMM.. Yes I am Australian. I appreciate your time and thoughts regarding this issue.

    As I understand it we require hospital grade vinyl on the floors. What would be the best solution regarding carpeted floors with plastic floor protectors over the top. I know that I have seen a number of instances that this occurs in practice and as we deal with dead skin and living organisms it doesn't seem appropriate....

    All the best and thank again

    Our clinic has chairs with debris trays from BENTLON, available from DBS Medical. No debris touches the floor. I cannot stand the thought of a clinic where patients tissue has been all over the floor - absolutely revolting thought!
