Miss .Ellis Lorraine Jose
(Hygienist)
Qualified from: BSc (Hons) Dental Therapy & Hygiene with Distinction – Plymouth University UK, 2020
GDC No: 263746
My dental career started in 2014 where I trained to become a Dental Nurse, and my passion for dentistry flourished from the get-go! I decided to further my skills, where I studied Dental Therapy at the University of Plymouth – graduating in 2020 with a distinction and achieving the academic award in 2018/19. Since starting at Hayle I have grown a keen interest in periodontal disease, striving to empower patients to improve their oral health.
I have grown up in Hayle, and never hesitated at returning here as I am such a home bird! I have a Labrador called Arlo, who I adore exploring the beautiful places Cornwall has. I previously studied Forensic Science, where this part of me gets me hooked on real life TV docu-dramas, so I am always open for suggestions on what to watch next!

Mrs.Karen Dennington
(Practice Manager)
Qualified from: NEBDN England, 1998

I started Dental Nursing at the age of 17 after completing my BTec National Diploma in Health/Social Care at college. I enjoyed the role straight away and loved the contact I had with my patients in a caring environment. I started work as a Junior Nurse in a NHS practice and when more experienced moved to Private Practice where I have stayed for the whole of my career. I studied at night school to do my NEBDN Dental Nurse qualification and later went on to do my Dental Radiography qualification too. I have a keen interest in Oral Health Education and Prevention for our patients and enjoy working with children. I have been Head Nurse for the Practice and a Mentor to our Student Nurses and am now the Practice Manager.
I live in Hayle and love living in Cornwall with the slower pace of life, I love walking the coastal paths and enjoy a walk on our gorgeous beaches especially on a blustery day when you could be the only person there! I enjoy yoga, cycling, reading and family time.
