Dental nurse advisor Linda Bussey stepped up to the infamous ‘Mastermind’ chair recently in an effort to encourage young people into dental nursing.

Linda, who works as a dental nurse advisor for Bradford South & West PCT and Bradford City Teaching PCT, took part in NHS Mastermind, an annual event in which students across the Bradford district get the chance to put local health service staff under the spotlight.

‘When I volunteered for NHS Mastermind it occurred to me that very few people know what a dental nurse actually does,’ says Linda. ‘this was my chance to tell the future workforce about dental nursing as a career choice.’
