Team News
New Trainee Dental Nurse The latest addition to our dental team is Kelly who joined us just one week ago to train as a dental nurse. Kelly approached us because she had been interested in becoming a dental nurse for some time and we have a good record of training applicants from scratch and ensuring they gain their national qualification. This is a 2 year period of on-the-job training, home and college theory study and a theory and practical examination set nationally.

Although it is too early for any of us to be sure, Kelly has made an impressive start, so we are hoping that she becomes firmly established with us. As a "new girl", she has done a great job in assisting Nicky, our dental hygienist and helping to keep the wheels well oiled at the practice

Naturally dentistry is not for everyone and over the last two years we have had several young ladies join us who have not "stayed the course" for a variety of reasons. Perhaps we need to sharpen up our interview techniques!

Laura's Holidays My senior qualified dental nurse, Laura is on a well deserved holiday break from the 7th to the 17th of Feb. which means that Chris has to work full-time as my surgery assistant.

Stand-in Receptionist We would like to thank Eve, one of our loyal patients, for agreeing to step in at the last minute to help us out at reception, fielding incoming calls and callers, arranging appointments and yes, looking after fee payments too. This has been a great relief for Chris.

Computer Upgrade My own surgery PC will be upgraded soon making it faster, more reliable and so x-ray imaging and the " tooth-cam" pictures I use, to let you see what it is I can see, will all happen more snappily!

Finishing touches Over the next few weeks we are planning to have the finishing touches to our practice upgrade completed including some minor painting and decorating, new widow blinds and so on. We hope you will not be inconvenienced.
