About Cherrybank Dental Spa

With over 27 years in the dental industry, I’ve had the privilege of building my career from the ground up and gaining a real understanding of both patient care and practice operations along the way. I qualified as a Dental Nurse in 2001 and progressed into a Practice Manager role in 2010, which has given me a well-rounded perspective of how successful dental practices support both their patients and their teams.

Over the years, I’ve worked across several practices and led teams of different sizes. I enjoy helping practices run smoothly — from day-to-day operations and regulatory compliance to creating a welcoming patient experience. For me, a great practice is one where patients feel cared for and the team feels valued and supported.

As the HIS Registered Manager at Cherrybank Dental Spa, I’m responsible for ensuring high standards of governance, safety, and service. I’m passionate about putting clear, effective systems in place while also building a positive, collaborative workplace where everyone feels confident in their role and proud of the care they provide.

Colleagues often describe me as organised, supportive, and easy to talk to. I believe good leadership is about listening, working together, and creating an environment where people can do their best work.

Outside of work, I enjoy going for walks with my husband and our dog. I also love home decorating — if I’m not in the middle of a project, I’m usually planning the next one!

Hi, I’m Tammy and I’m one of the smile advisors here at Cherrybank. I’ve worked here since 2013 and previously worked on our front desk.

I studied English Literature after leaving school, so love reading in my spare time. I also enjoy cooking, going out for food and drinks with my boyfriend and catching up with friends.
