Here at mydentist, we love showcasing what helps our teams thrive outside their 9-5. As the UK’s leading provider of dentistry, we ensure our Support Centre, Academy, in-practice colleagues and the self-employed clinicians who choose to work with us across our 530+ modern practices have the support they need to thrive – both inside and outside of work. It's always great fun to see what life at mydentist looks like to them – and to see our new people values, launched earlier this year, live in action.   We caught up with Andrea Grocott: by day, dedicated practice manager at mydentist Liverpool Road and mydentist Cherry Orchard in Newcastle Under Lyme. By night, devoted shepherdess to her beloved flock of lambs!
