Sandra
Founder of 1st Call Agency
I have worked in the dental profession for over 30 years, starting as a trainee dental nurse and working my way up to practice manager, acquiring my NEBDN nurses and Dental Radiography qualification whilst taking time out to raise my 2 daughters.
1st Call Agency is my passion as well as my family, I have a new grandson who keeps me very busy.
I like to read and enjoy time away in my caravan where I relax with a good book with my husband.

Shannon
Dental Nurse
I qualified in 2016 completing by a NEBDN course and working in an NHS practice for 5 years. Deciding I wanted more out of nursing I joined the agency in March '21 which has opened opportunities for me to progress my career with recently completed an implant course in July and gain more experience working in different practices and meeting new people which I thoroughly enjoy.
Outside of work I enjoy reading, long walks, and spending time with friends and family
