Shout out to my #dentalnurse Lauren. She keeps my surgery running, sorts admin, puts patients first. She blocks all calls & messages that is not clinically related, pulls me out of virtual meetings on time & all done with a smile under that awful mask!

Today I have booked all my patients in for Monday. Interesting most patients I spoke to were saying I am sure you have people more urgent than my case & would be happy to wait a bit longer if you need. How nice of them.
