Meet Sophie 👋
Next up in our Meet the Team series is Sophie — one of our Dental Nurse Assessors, who you'll also still find out in practice locuming with Infills Agency.
Sophie started out as a dental nurse herself, before gaining experience in compliance and practice management and eventually moving into tutoring and assessing. Earlier this year, she also completed her Level 3 CAVA qualification.
And despite now spending plenty of time supporting the next generation of dental nurses, she hasn't abandoned the surgery just yet!
-What's her favourite part of working with Infills?
The people, the variety and seeing that moment when something finally clicks for a learner.
-Her advice for trainee dental nurses?
Ask questions! You're training — nobody expects you to know everything straight away. And don't take feedback personally. Use it, have another go and keep going.
-Outside of dentistry?
Sophie has a dog called Trixy who apparently thinks 4am is a perfectly reasonable time for a walk. Sophie strongly disagrees.
-And a slightly unexpected fact...
She can't go to sleep without listening to a Harry Potter audiobook. She's listened to them so many times that Harry, Ron and Hermione are essentially part of her bedtime routine at this point.
-Tea or coffee?
Coffee. Lots of it. Which, given the 4am dog walks, suddenly makes perfect sense.
Sophie also loves spending time with her husband and two children — so between family life, Trixy, assessing and locuming, we're not entirely sure when she actually sleeps. 😂
We're very lucky to have Sophie as part of both sides of Infills, supporting our learners while still keeping her hand in clinical practice. 💙
