• Recruitment deserts to paradoxically add to dental deserts;

• The return of Covid amongst team members;

• Rotas stretched by holiday absences.

Ordinarily, any of these would be irritating, but during the three summer months the problems caused become more problematic as there are fewer people and there is less time to deal with them.
