Jill Taylor – Vice Chairman
Jill joined Botanics Dental Care in Glasgow in May 1997 when it was known as John Whyte Dental Practice. She worked as a Senior Dental Nurse until March 2008 when current Practice Principal, Dr Colin Gardner, purchased the practice. Her duties were extended to cover the role of Practice Manager. Due to the limited availability of educational and support networks in Scotland, Jill decided to join the BDPMA and attend its regular seminars in England with the full support of Colin.
Jill's qualifications include: the National Certificate in Dental Nursing 1996, Implant Dental Nurse training 1998, Practice Managers qualification 2000, Certificate in Dental Radiography 2008. Jill believes that the practice manager’s role is constantly evolving as many gain more in-depth involvement with the running of the business and employment issues.  She believes that each and every member of the BDPMA stands to gain invaluable insight, knowledge and support from other members by attending the regular meetings and workshops. These provide the perfect opportunity to network with like-minded fellow professionals. Jill enjoys relaxing with her husband Scott by taking long walks along the beach near to their home in the West of Scotland.
