She also highlights the advantages for dental practices working with locum nurses.
“I believe more practices will start to see the advantages of using locum nurses, no holiday pay, sick pay, tax, or national insurance contributions, and access to nurses who are constantly learning and adapting. Locum nurses bring flexibility, experience, and fresh knowledge, and I think they’ll increasingly be viewed as an asset rather than a temporary fix.”
This reflects the growing importance of flexible staffing solutions across the dental industry, as practices manage increasing workloads, staffing shortages, and patient demand. Agencies such as 1st Call Agency play a key role in maintaining continuity of care.
Sandra also emphasises the benefits of locum work for dental nurses, including skill development, independence, variety, and exposure to different working environments.
Behind the agency’s success is a hands-on approach built on communication, honesty, and reliability. Sandra remains closely involved in supporting both nurses and practices, ensuring smooth placements and ongoing assistance whenever needed.
To stay aligned with industry developments, Sandra keeps up to date with dental news, engages with professionals, and maintains regular communication within the sector. This proactive approach ensures 1st Call Agency continues to deliver high standards and adapt to changing needs.
For those considering a career in dental nursing or locum work, Sandra offers straightforward advice, highlighting the importance of commitment, training, and continuous learning. While the role can be demanding, it is also highly rewarding for those willing to invest in their development.
