Short resume of career to date:

I started working as a Dental Nurse in 2010, qualifying in January 2012. In 2013 I completed my first scope of practice and went on to do the other 2 scopes of practice and Dental Radiography in 2014. In March 2015 I completed my Oral Health Education. Day to day I work with a range of Dentists, hygienists and therapists and have worked for 2 years with an orthodontist. I have a flexible and fun approach to work and love giving oral hygiene advice to children.

Experience relevant to the topic:

I qualified in Dental Radiography with the IMECS course in 2014 and I take intra and extra oral radiographs daily. At my practice I help others that are completing the radiography course.
