It’s a job for life!

Sue Davies retired from Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Community Dental Service in November, aged 63.

A dental nurse for 47 years, she trained part-time at Wolverhampton Technical College whilst working in the Dudley Area Health Authority. She says: ‘This has had a number of name changes over the years and is now known as Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Community Dental Service.’

Sue’s choice of career was perhaps inevitable. She explains: ‘My mother was a dental nurse and also worked for Dudley Area Health Authority back in the early 1970s. I managed to overlap working alongside my mum, who worked in the service until shortly after I started. A mother and daughter team if you like – keeping it in the family.’
