1. Fall in love with laminate. Check stock every day. This is a really important one for me, as there is nothing more frustrating being mid treatment and you suddenly find you forgot to stock something you need. The key is to be as organised as you can. As you’re all aware, there are hundreds of different instruments and materials kept in the drawers, so how do you remember to keep everything stocked up? My top tip for this is to have a laminated piece of paper with ALL stock written down – if you want to be really organised, you can section them into different treatments. When I notice something starting to run low, I will tick it on the sheet. Then whenever I have spare time – or at the start of each day – I will have a clear idea of everything that needs to be stocked up. As the sheet is laminated – and because I use a non-permanent marker – I can rub the sheet clean as soon as I’ve stocked up and start again the next day.
