Laura McClune - Series 4

The poignant dental professional I had the pleasure of interviewing for this recording is Laura McClune who qualified from Kings in 2005 and has certainly had a very dynamic varied career path since qualifying. On todays show she speaks about her career path to date, and what she has learnt along the way, and how her choice of a masters has impacted her professionally and as a person. I hope you have as much fun listening to this podcast as we did recording it. Laura will certainly feed you with inspiration. This podcast was recorded at the beginning of the first lockdown prior to going on Furlough. Laura qualified as a dental hygienist from Kings College London in 2005. Since then she has worked in various dental practices within the South East. She is a keen advocate for continuing personal and professional development and has now completed her Master’s level qualification wih a Distinction, in Advanced and Specialist Healthcare from the University of Kent this year. Her dissertation is titled “The experiences of dental hygienists working with chairside dental nurse assistance within general dental practices in the South of England”. Laura is also now the current honourary treasurer for the BSDHT. In 2019 Laura started her role at Philips Healthcare and is now working as a dental Professional Educator and business manager. She delivers content around the subject of oral healthcare including the science of Sonicare technology and Zoom whitening treatments, to dental professionals online and previously both in practice, at conferences and seminars.
