‘Tradition needs disrupting’

In a day and age where technology is booming, learning techniques are constantly evolving. The dental industry is no exception. New methods and ideas are essential if education is to keep up with the fast-paced evolution of technology.

And one of these new innovations is DigiDentistry. Set up by dental nurse turned entrepreneur Chloe Barrett, the visual learning platform uses augmented reality and animation to aid the career development of trainees. Bridging a gap between theory and practical learning, the software allows users to quickly recap before exams – helping to improve results and grades.

Here, Chloe speaks about her entrepreneurial journey, balancing her job with dressage and why dental nursing remains a fantastic career path.
