Amalgamate Consulting Hello, I’m Roslyn Franklin, founder and director of Amalgamate. Amalgamate is an infection prevention and control consultancy for dental practices.

Dr Roslyn Franklin and her team specialises in simplifying the overwhelming amount of infection control information and translating it into practical and applicable solutions following current standards, guidelines and best practice. I live in a gorgeous regional town, Bunbury, in Western Australia, with my husband and chocolate labradoodle (our two children are now grown and flown!)

After graduation (back in 1994), I worked as a dentist in private and public practice and then spent three years teaching and training dental assistants. Next, I took a break from dentistry and worked for three years as an administrative assistant for a Registered Training Organisation, writing and editing policies, procedures and training materials. In 2015, a dental colleague asked me to assist his practice with accreditation. Much to my surprise, I enjoyed the process! My colleague encouraged me to reach out to other dental practitioners and practices who might also be seeking help. I had been thinking about re-entering the dental industry without necessarily going back ‘on the tools, and here was the perfect answer! Following this revelation, I combined my experience in dentistry, training and compliance (not to mention my love of regulations, order and paperwork), and created my business, Amalgamate. After a couple of years, I realised that my infection prevention and control (IPC) knowledge was lacking; consequently, I bit the bullet and returned to University to complete post-graduate study in IPC in 2018. I must stay as current as possible, but I am always learning. I don’t call myself an IPC specialist for that reason; I have a reasonable amount of knowledge in IPC, but I want to always be open to learning more from my colleagues, conferences, scientific research, and so on! When you get to a ‘certain age’, and you’ve been working in the same industry for almost 30 years, as I have, it’s essential to keep learning and moving forward to remain enthusiastic about what you do. In my case, I‘m still passionate about all things dental, and one of the reasons is that I’ve continued to grow and develop within the dental industry.

📍 Sydney practices — I have availability on 20 & 21 August

I’ll be in Sydney this month and have limited openings for tailored in-practice training and support.

You can choose from:

• IPC audits
• IPC workshops
• Surgical assisting and sterile workflow
• Four-handed dentistry
• Ergonomics
• Or a tailored combination designed around the needs of your team

For NSW practices, I would particularly recommend an IPC Audit.

In partnership with Dr Roslyn Franklin from Amalgamate Consulting, we can audit your current systems and workflows against AS/NZS 5369:2023 and provide a comprehensive written report, including a gap analysis and practical recommendations.

The best part? You do not need to close the clinic. We can work around your team and observe your systems while the practice continues to operate.

If you have been meaning to review your IPC systems, update your team, or identify where your current processes may need strengthening, this is a great opportunity to do it while I’m in Sydney.

📅 Available: 20 & 21 August
📍 Sydney / NSW

Message me directly or contact Dental Assisting & Beyond to discuss what would best suit your practice.

Thank you to Jenny Ball and the Australian Dental Association WA for the opportunity to present on infection prevention and control alongside my partner in crime, Steve Lines from STS Health.

We took a different approach to this workshop day, focusing on practical application rather than simply theory. From explaining and demonstrating Steri Room workflows, to testing water samples from practices around WA, to exploring treatment room procedures, our goal was to turn theory into practical, actionable knowledge that attendees could immediately implement in their own practices.

Thank you to everyone who attended, asked questions, shared experiences, and contributed to the discussions. Steve and I firmly believe that the most valuable professional development happens when participants can engage, challenge ideas, and learn from each other's real-world experiences. 😀

Steve and I will be repeating the workshop in Bunbury, WA (my hometown!) on 17 August 2026, and we'd love to see you there.

Just boarding my flight from Brisbane back to Perth after working with Smile Partners at 4 orthodontic clinics this past week. A no make-up day!

I assessed each practice's infection control processes and then worked with the practitioners and clinical teams to share my knowledge and passion!

Travelling with me were two amazing individuals from Smile Partner's clinical team, Amy Mulet and Jacob Bray, who gave me a helping hand...thankyou!

It's time to think about getting your flu shot as we are now into April.

The advice from these two infectious diseases experts is for sometime around April or May.

There has already been a lot of flu this year but the flu season is unlikely to peak until late winter.
