Sarah Appleyard has a unique connection to Marton Dental Practice—she first came to us as a patient and is now part of the team as a trainee dental nurse. Originally trained and working as a radiographer, Sarah decided she wanted a career change that allowed her to work more closely with patients in a different way, and chose to begin an apprenticeship in dental nursing with us.
Her background in healthcare means she already brings a strong understanding of patient care, attention to detail, and clinical standards to her new role. As she progresses through her dental nursing apprenticeship, Sarah is quickly becoming a confident and caring presence in the surgery, supporting both patients and clinicians.
Outside of work, Sarah loves travelling—especially getting off the beaten track and exploring new places away from the usual tourist routes. She also has a real passion for Formula One and often attends races in person. Her sense of adventure and enthusiasm for new experiences come through in her approach to both life and work, making her a great fit for the Marton Dental team.
