Emma has over 25 years’ experience as a dental nurse and oral health educator and has spent the last 17 years working as a dental nurse specialist and oral health educator at the Pennine Acute Hospital Trust in Manchester. The last 7 of these years she worked as the Macmillian Oral Health Practitioner, the only role of its kind in the UK. During this time she has presented both nationally and internationally on the importance of oral health. Emma continues to support the development of the Macmillan role, working on further training packages for Allied Health professionals on effective deliverance of oral health to compromised patients. In November 2014 Emma was privileged to be invited to speak in Parliament at the launch of mouth cancer awareness and has since been awarded the outstanding contribution to dental nursing award.
