From humble East End beginnings, Sarah Elliston followed her dental vocation with a nursing, fresh from high school, before moving onwards with a place at Royal London Hospital’s competitive therapy training.

She recounts how her finals and first job were almost interrupted by a life-threatening illness, discusses hierarchies in the profession and answers the question on everyone’s lips: Just what is guided biofilm therapy?

Sarah lets us know why she recently left therapy behind and offers a few tantalising clues about an exciting new road ahead.
