Sarah Gladson

I have worked as a NHS/private dentist since 2002 where I qualified in Cardiff at the university of Wales College of Medicine. I have worked as a general dentist for 25 years, dealing with various members of the public that can have deep rooted fears about visiting a dentist. I feel that putting strangers at ease is a transferable skill I can utilise in the position I am looking to apply for.

I have three grown up children in which two had special educational needs and am keen to start a new chapter in my life using my previous education and experience.
