“I was 20 when I spotted an ad for trainee dental nurses, applied and haven’t looked back since – and that was 45 years ago. Things have really changed for us over the past year with all the enhanced PPE we have to wear, which at first was a struggle, but it’s definitely an improvement on when I first started my career and we weren’t asked to wear any protective equipment at all.
“Thankfully things have improved significantly since then. No more taking notes with pen on paper! Putting everything on computers makes my life so much easier. It means I can spend more time focusing on patients, rather than admin. I’ve seen some of the dental technology that is being developed to take things even further and I’m excited for what the future holds.

“I absolutely love my job for a variety of reasons. Firstly, being a dental nurse is never dull. No patient is the same so no two days in practice are the same. And as science and technology continue to develop at such a rapid pace, there is always something new to learn!
“But beyond that, I know that as a dental nurse I’m always needed – by my patients, my dentists, my hygienists, and my colleagues. And that’s a really lovely feeling. To know that what I’m doing really adds value to people’s life makes everything worthwhile.”
Our culture is centered around going above and beyond for patients. Whether you’re working with patients directly or indirectly, you’ll be based within an empowering environment to give your all to create positive experiences and broad smiles.
Our caring approach extends to our employees too. It’s why we’re so big on training, development, and progression. It’s also why our practices are such friendly, collaborative places – people quickly become friends as well as colleagues.

Furthermore, Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100% on delivering the best service for customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but we reinvest 100% of our profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
