I’m Amy, and I started dental nursing in South East London when I was 16. Without giving my age away this was a very long time ago!

I made the big move from London to Herne Bay back in 2014 with my then 3 year old daughter. I have never looked back!

I joined the Bradleys team in November 2015 full time, however since the birth of my twins in 2017 I have worked part time. You will find me working alongside Georgina Chilcott.
