The Inspired Dental Care Treatment Coordinator Team: Charlotte, Zoë & Stacey
At Inspired Dental Care, our commitment to patient care goes beyond providing basic clinical treatments. A crucial part of this commitment is our dedicated treatment coordinator team, consisting of Charlotte Stack and Zoë Darch, our clinical coordinators, and Stacey, our administrative coordinator. Their unique background, skills, and shared passion for dentistry play a vital role in enhancing the patient experience, especially during complex procedures like orthodontics, Invisalign® or implants.
Zoë Darch: A Journey of Growth and Dedication
Zoë Darch’s journey in dentistry began in 2011 when she joined Inspired Dental Care as a trainee nurse. With a genuine passion for oral health and patient care, Zoë quickly immersed herself in the dental field. By 2013, she had completed her qualifications and expanded her expertise in several key areas, including dental radiography and oral health education.
Professional Development
Zoë’s dedication to continuous learning is evident in her professional development. In 2017, she earned her teaching certification and became a certified NEBDN (National Examining Board for Dental Nurses) tutor. This role allowed her to share her knowledge and mentor new dental professionals, a responsibility she takes seriously. Zoë understands that nurturing the next generation of dental nurses is essential for maintaining high standards of care in the industry.
Transition to Treatment Coordinator
More recently, Zoë transitioned into the role of treatment coordinator here at Inspired Dental Care, where she has taken on significant responsibilities in supporting patients through their orthodontic, Invisalign®, and implant treatments. This position enables her to leverage her extensive clinical background while focusing on patient interactions.
Key Responsibilities
As a treatment coordinator, Zoë’s primary role is to assist patients throughout their treatment journey. This involves:
- Patient Consultations: Zoë conducts initial consultations with patients, helping them understand their treatment options and answering any questions they may have. Her ability to communicate complex information clearly ensures that patients feel informed and empowered to make decisions about their care;
- Treatment Planning & Coordination: Collaborating with the dental team, Zoë plays a crucial role in transmitting and coordinating comprehensive treatment plans. She ensures that each plan is delivered according to the patient’s availability and expectations, facilitating a seamless process from start to finish;
- Chair-Side Support: During some procedures, Zoë also provides chair-side support, ensuring continuity in the patient’s journey putting patients at ease. Her friendly demeanour and attentive nature help alleviate anxiety, allowing patients to focus on their treatment.
- Follow-Up Care: After treatments, Zoë follows up with patients to monitor their progress and address any concerns. This ongoing support reinforces the commitment of Inspired Dental Care to patient satisfaction and well-being.
Zoë’s contributions as a treatment coordinator are invaluable.

Key Responsibilities
As a treatment coordinator, Charlotte’s responsibilities mirror those of her colleague Zoë, with her own unique contributions:

She ensures that patients understand every step of their journey, empowering them to ask questions and assisting them with their orthodontic or Invisalign® consent forms to make the best-informed decisions.

This involves scheduling appointments, coordinating with the dental team, and ensuring that each patient receives timely care.
