Patient Care Co-ordinator – GDC: 148552Gemma Beswick

Hi, I’m Gemma!

I joined the practice back in 2005 as an apprentice, and have not looked back!

After qualifying as a Dental Nurse in 2007, I worked closely with our dentists for many years until I became a mummy to my 2 children. I then moved in to my role as the practice treatment co-ordinator.

As a treatment coordinator, I’m in a lucky position, to be able to work closely with all members of the dental team, and our new and existing patients.

But… what is a treatment co-ordinator? I will be the patient’s primary point of contact, booking appointments, providing consultations, guiding them through their treatment options and working directly with our clinicians to create a bespoke treatment plan.

I will welcome you into our patient lounge, as a place to chat in a peaceful setting that does not feel clinical in the slightest.
All consultations with me are complimentary, so if you wish to arrange this, or just come along for a cuppa and an informal chat, please speak to our reception team.

I look forward to meeting you all soon!
