Wendy

 

I have been successfully running my Locum Dental Nurse Service, in the Somerset, Dorset and Devon areas now for over 11 years.

I gained my National Certificate qualification in 1978, and I have been constantly working as a Dental Nurse since 1974. I am and have been registered with the General Dental Council since June 2008.

I am so pleased to have started my own Locum Dental Nurse business as I love being a Locum Nurse, enabling me to help lots of practices, have a large variety of work and meet different people. I especially enjoy working with nervous patients, and I do my very best to talk to them and give reassure at all times. I have had lovely comments from patients (and also dentists) who thank me for my input when its most needed.

I am used to working in Private and NHS practices enjoying all aspects of dentistry. I have also gained experience in Orthodontics

and implantology.

For relaxation, I enjoy cycling, tennis, going to the theatre, and reading, and practicing my new found skill (!), of learning how to play Bridge, which I am enjoying, but beginning to understand, it is a lifetime of learning.



Meet my team...

 

Debbie I’m Debbie, I have enjoyed being a qualified Registered Dental Nurse for 12 years, working in general practice.

This coincides with my skills as a hypnotherapist helping me to relax and reassure nervous patients. In the past year I have taken on the role as tutor/assessor delivering the NVQ in dental nursing which has become a diploma, I find this very rewarding.

Ruth Hi I'm Ruth, I have been a Registered Dental Nurse for just under 10 years.

I have achieved my qualification in Radiography and Oral Health Education. I am also trained advisor for smoking cessation and within the last year qualified to apply fluoride applications. I enjoy agency nursing, it provides me with more experience and variety.

Out of work I enjoy walking my dog, being with my granddaughter, catching up with my friends and planning my next holiday!

 

Zainab My name is Zainab, I'm a GDC registered dental nurse, and have been qualified since 2007. I qualified in dental radiography in 2009, and have undergone first aid training.

I am hoping to increase my knowledge and skills and do further courses such as implants and sedation. I enjoy dental nursing, as I'm a practical person, and love being an agency nurse enabling me to travel to different practices, learn new skills, and meet new people along the way.

I am an active person, and enjoy sports in my leisure, looking after animals (I live on a farm), learning languages, and cooking. I recently got a food hygiene certificate, enabling me to cater at public events. I hope to continue doing more courses in the future, enabling me to progress within the field of dentistry.
