Maisie Morris is a trainee dental nurse based at Church Lane Dental Practice in Stafford. Here, she reveals her passion for her new career…
Why dentistry?
Because it is specialised and career progression can be good if you want it enough. The role is not very well publicised and that really needs to be looked at. I was studying health and social care and just happened to look on the apprenticeship website and dental nursing jumped out at me. All I knew was that university was not for me.
