Jillian Melloy - Clinical Manager
Jillian left school and started nursing in 1994. She joined Dr Halley and her team at Cherrybank Dental Spa in Perth as Senior Dental Nurse in 1998. This involved the very high standard of continual training and development of all dental nurses at Cherrybank.
Jillian attended the Aesthetic Advantage Group seminar in 2001 with Dr Halley in London, and has since travelled with Dr Halley to attend the advanced courses in New York and West Palm Beach. Jillian gained a wealth of knowledge about cosmetic dentistry and the new and exciting possibilities for dentists, their entire teams, and of course the patients.
The following year Jillian was invited to attend the Aesthetic Advantage seminar in London to assist with the smooth running of the clinic day. This let to the creation of a seminar specific to the clinical nurses, which allows them to be prepared for the new skills which the dentists recently gain.
Jillian is one of the first nurses in the UK to develop the role of Treatment Coordinator and has lectured at the first British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry Annual Conference in London.
