Samantha, from Enfield, has worked at Guy’s Hospital since 2006 and was recognised for her services to dental nursing.
She joined the trust as a sister in the dental directorate before becoming a dental matron and then head of dental nursing.
During her career, Samantha chaired the Association of Dental Hospitals dental nurses’ group, and she worked with NHS England to set up talent management for dental nurses.
She helped set up the Dental Nursing Academy for apprentices at Guy’s and St Thomas’ and is currently developing a specialist dental nursing degree.
During the pandemic, more than three-quarters of her dental nurse team were redeployed to other areas. As a result of their efforts, they were recognised at the trust’s Nursing and Midwifery Awards, collectively winning the Dame Eileen Sills Award.
