Free for any practice

Twenty minutes a week that stops a chair failing mid‑clinic.

The Practice Equipment Care Calendar sets out every check your own staff can do — daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly — in plain language, with tick boxes.

Four printable pages, built from the same standards our engineers work to. Read it now. No email, no form, no login.

What a failure actually costs

Most equipment does not break. It is worn out by things nobody was told to do.

A cancelled list

A chair down on a Monday is a week of appointments moved, and patients who booked elsewhere.

A replacement, not a repair

A compressor run with water in the tank does not need a service. It needs buying again.

A failed inspection

Sterilisation records are the first thing asked for. Reconstructing them afterwards is not possible.

Staff working around it

The quiet cost: a tube nobody replaced, a tip nobody gauged, clinical time lost every day.

What you get

Five things, all in four pages.

Written for the person who closes the clinic, not for an engineer. Every task says what to do and why it matters, in one line.

01

The daily and weekly round

Fourteen checks with tick boxes. Ten minutes at close, twenty on a fixed day each week.

02

Monthly and quarterly checks

The ones that get forgotten, and the ones that quietly decide how long a machine lasts.

03

The annual list, and who signs it

The six jobs that legally need an engineer and a certificate — named, with the standard each falls under.

04

Warning signs: call before it fails

Eight symptoms that mean weeks left, not months. Acting on them costs a visit; waiting costs a machine.

05

A service record for inspections

Machine, serial, last service, next due, by whom. One page you can hand across.

The next step, if you want it

Send your equipment list. We will fill the calendar in for you.

Tell us what is actually in your rooms — makes and models where you have them, or just what each room contains. We will return the same calendar with your machines named, the annual dates set, and the consumables each one gets through.

No charge, no site visit, no obligation to buy anything. We do it because a practice that knows its own schedule is a practice we can help properly when something does need replacing.

Or reach us directly on 0705 213 438 and jodroc0@gmail.com

And if you would rather we did it

Section 05 of the calendar — the annual list — needs test equipment and a signature. Our engineers cover it under contract, on equipment we supplied and equipment we did not.
