Hello and Happy New Year from Fay – a new team member at Your Perfect Smile Dental Clinic

Well, hello!

First things first, I would like to wish everyone a ‘Happy New Year’! I hope you all had a cheerful, festive period with the ones you love.

Some of you  might have noticed that I am the new addition to Your Perfect Smile, primarily in Grantown on Spey. For the past couple of months I’ve been learning the ropes of managing the patient lounge and looking after the clinic, occasionally popping over to Aviemore to see how Kerry manages the practice there.

With all honesty, I’ve never worked in the medical industry before, I’ve always dreamt of it – never had the courage previously to apply for it though. Needless to say it was a huge surprise that I was successfull in obtaining the job! The past couple of months have been a huge learning curve for me, it still seems bizarre even now that I’m throwing words like ‘anxiolytic’ around first thing in the morning. Does it bother me in the slightest? Not at all. This is a refreshing career change that has not only provided something to look forward to but the opportunity for challenge and development.

My favourite part of my position in the company is patient care. The feeling of reward from providing care, is, well, there are no words to explain the sentiment it provides. Knowing that an aura of positivity provides comfort to my patients and contributes towards their recovery is, as I aforementioned, an irreplaceable experience and provides a huge level of statisfaction. At the end of the day, I like my patients to go home feeling safe, well and comfortable. Being able to help this process is an absolute honour and privilege.

I would like to thank my wonderful colleagues for taking their time with me, I would also like to thank our lovely patients for being gentle and ever so welcoming. It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to meet and know everyone.

Wishing you all the best for 2015 and looking forward to meeting you all.

Fay.
