Congratulations Rachel!
Congratulations to Rachel, our trainee dental nurse for making the drive to the Birmingham Dental Hospital in heavy rain to sit the first of her dental nursing (NEBDN) exams. Well done on passing! Here she is with the lucky mascot we found tucked away in a cupboard in the Practice. Her final exam is in late January and we wish her all the very best.
