There is so much that I am responsible for here at Ocean Dental. I often laugh and say - if it's not a dentists job, then it's mine! This includes but not limited to:

• being responsible for the smooth running of the day to day
• Ordering supplies for the day to day running and use in procedures
• Management of the support staff as well as dentists.
• Provision of support and training of all new staff.
• Ensuring compliance with regulating bodies.

After my husband died, I felt unable to return to nursing, so worked in retail enjoying the interaction with people and helping them find the thing that they needed. I drew on my previous careers and education a lot and really enjoyed my time here.

I was the only nurse here for the first 3 of these years, and then as the work load had increased I helped to train another nurse. We were responsible for family planning, childhood vaccination's, health screening, travel vaccinations, and much more! I left this job to care for my terminally ill husband and return to NZ

This was first job as a qualified Midwife after training and so all the duties of a Midwife in a busy East London Hospital, with the last 2 years being focused on Breastfeeding support and information giving to both new families, and professionals.

I began with a course (called Discipleship Training), and faith based course that involved voluntary work abroad in the Philippines. I then stay on to work in a staff capacity (unpaid) and further visited Indonesia.
