Business sparks: PARK COTTAGE DENTAL PRACTICE
and know the patients very well. Gillian has been with Park Cottage since she graduated from Glasgow Dental School more than 10 years ago and has built up a very loyal patient base. Barry moved to Park Cottage four years ago after a decade working in the west end of Glasgow. Barry said: “We are proud to be part of a historic and respected dental practice in Bearsden. Our focus is very much on offering a family friendly service and we make it our priority to build lifelong relationships with patients. While myself and Gillian are now taking the practice forwards we want patients to know that it is business as usual.
Family orientated dental care has long been at the heart of well-respected Park Cottage Dental Practice in Bearsden. And this is exactly how the two principal dentists now at the helm of the community-based practice plan to continue. While the popular practice has been established in the community for more than five decades, and run for 25 years on Roman Road by Rod Renton, the future of the business is now in
the safe hands of Barry Simpson and Gillian McAlindon. Rod has stepped back from his role at the helm of Park Cottage – although he still practices parttime – and experienced dentists Barry and Gillian have stepped up. Both Barry and Gillian have been with the practice for many years
EMPATHY CAN CHANGE LIVES
Empathic coaching isn’t about ‘being positive’ or using self affirmations, it’s about working with reality and developing the skills you need to live a deeply satisfying life. It’s been a major tool in helping me reveal the support and guidance that I need. I’m happier with my choices and able to find compassion for myself when I make ones I regret. It isn’t a magic wand, change takes time and effort. I want to live in a world where everyone can experience this level of support and trust in life. We cannot do it alone.
Park Cottage Dental Practice offers a full range of dental care for all ages including preventative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and implants. It takes on new NHS patients and also has private options with a practice plan on offer. See www.bearsdendentist.co.uk.

I believe it’s possible to live a life you love. Empathic coaching can help you live your vision whilst taking care of your well-being. I do work I’m passionate about, support family, friends, care for animals and have time to enjoy activities I love. I live simply, feel more balanced, grateful and present.
“We will be hoping to evolve the practice over time while still maintaining the same ethos of the practice. At the heart of our business is excellent dental care and treatment and a high level of professionalism – and this will always be the case.”
ADVERTISE
I enjoy being invited to share about empathy and to find ways we can foster compassionate communities... where everyone matters. More care and fun, less blame and suffering. I support individuals through coaching and deliver training in empathy and professional development across sectors. Empathy benefits everyone, it can support our individual growth as well as thriving teams and businesses.
