Dental Nurse
As a Dental Nurse in the Royal Navy, you’ll be a vital member of the team, just as you would be in any well-equipped civilian dental practice. The difference is that you’ll be seeing patients on board a warship, or in a shore establishment anywhere in the UK or overseas. Working as part of a small team led by the Dental Officer, you’ll be responsible for preparing materials and instruments, making appointments and maintaining surgery stocks. You’ll also look after patients before and during their appointments, prepare the surgery and keep everything clean and tidy – quite a challenge when you’re at sea, or attached to a Royal Marines unit.
