We are incredibly proud to celebrate our Practice Manager, Sam, and her outstanding achievements alongside her role at Oakwood Dental Practice. 🎉
While managing the day-to-day operations of our busy practice, supporting patients, mentoring and coaching our team, and occasionally stepping back into surgery to provide nursing support, Sam is also studying towards a BA (Hons) in Business Leadership and Management through a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship.
This qualification will lead to:
✅ BA (Hons) Business Leadership and Management Degree
✅ Full Level 6 Apprenticeship Certification
✅ Chartered Management Institute (CMI) Level 5 Qualification
Sam’s dedication and hard work have already been recognised by the University of Portsmouth. She was nominated for the University of Portsmouth Student Impact Awards, which celebrate students and alumni who make positive contributions to their communities.
In addition, Sam has been awarded a place on the Dean’s List for the Faculty of Business and Law after achieving an average mark of 70% or above across all modules, with no repeats, during her Level 5 studies.
Balancing university studies with a demanding management role is no small achievement, and we are incredibly grateful for the passion, commitment and leadership Sam brings to Oakwood Dental Practice every day.
Please join us in congratulating Sam on these fantastic accomplishments! 👏🎓🌟
