Young dentist returns to roots to acquire Broadway Dental Practice

Dentist Graham Murphy has returned to his Cullercoats roots to acquire the first dental practice of his own.

Graham, who has spent the last eight years working in South Shields, has taken on the Broadway Dental Practice previously run by dentist Fin Godlington for the last 25 years.

All members of the Broadway team will be continuing with the practice, with a new nurse being added to it, while Graham will be looking at introducing a number of new services along its existing provisions, such as adult orthodontics and teeth whitening.

RMT Healthcare, the specialist healthcare division of RMT Accountants & Business Advisors, and the Healthcare team at Sintons Law Firm worked with Graham Murphy to set up and complete the acquisition. Funding to support the purchase was structured by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

Graham commented: “Owning my own practice has been a long-term ambition ever since I qualified, and being able to realise this ambition in the place that I grew up is especially pleasing.

“The Broadway practice is a well-established family surgery in a great area that’s been very well managed over the last quarter of a century, and my aim is to continue to provide the excellent levels of care that local people have enjoyed from Fin while also expanding the services we can provide.

“Patients are demanding more and different services from their dentists, and we’ll be looking to add new services over the coming months that will fit alongside the work that the practice team has always done, as well as growing the patient list by attracting more younger patients.”

Richard Humphreys, director at RMT Healthcare, added: “Graham has always had a clear idea of what he wanted from his own surgery, an idea that he’ll now be able to put into practice, and we’re very pleased to have helped him make the move back into his own community by completing this acquisition.”
