Eloise Meldrum considers professional self-image, dental nursing and patient perception

Self-image is very important in dentistry. Patients place their trust (and their oral health) in our hands so having a clean, professional and natural appearance is vitally important to promote and maintain that trust between any practice staff and its patients.

I like to promote a very professional image.I like to show patients and dentists that I am knowledgeable, committed and passionate about the industry. It’s important to show this to build a good relationship with both patient and dentist, so you show your drive, enthusiasm and professional pride.

The culture/brand of different practices do not necessarily impact how I present myself. I am always led by the GDC/ CQC standards in terms of professionalism, uniform, presentation and so on. The beauty of these standards is by adhering to them, you can be confident it will be acceptable in any practice.
