Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for dentist surgeries

How do you stay calm all day when half your patients arrive anxious and the other half are in pain? Dental teams manage fear, millimetre-level precision and NHS contract pressure all at once, and it adds up quietly. Spill gives your practice same-day therapy around clinic hours, with counsellors who specialise in burnout and compassion fatigue, for £75 a month across the whole team.

Proudly supporting dental teams across the UK

The particular strain of working in dentistry

30% of NHS staff often or always feel burnt out because of work (NHS Staff Survey, 2024), and dentistry sits under much of the same system pressure. Add anxious patients, exacting clinical work and NHS contract targets, and it's little wonder dental teams end the week running on empty.

Burnout at work

30% of NHS staff often or always feel burnt out because of work, rising to nearly 40% of ambulance staff. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)

Made unwell by stress

41% of NHS staff felt unwell in the past year as a result of work-related stress. (NHS Staff Survey, 2024)

Trainees at risk

63% of trainee doctors are at moderate or high risk of burnout. (GMC National Training Survey, 2024)

Why supporting your dental team pays off

Dentists, nurses and receptionists who feel supported make calmer clinical decisions and stay in post longer. For patients, that means familiar faces and continuity of care rather than a revolving door of locums.

Protect against compassion fatigue

Help staff process the emotional weight of caring for others before it turns into exhaustion.

Keep minds on the job

Supported staff have more attention and patience for the people who depend on them.

Reduce mental health sick days

Same-day support helps issues get dealt with early, before they become absence.
