Medical scrubs replaced the traditional nurses uniforms in the 1960s, as an easy to clean and cheap to replace alternative. Since this introduction, their popularity has grown and they are no longer just seen as a medical uniform, but used by a wide variety of employers.

Approximately 75% of the exhibitions and conferences we attended in 2018 were dentistry related and it's looking to follow the same pattern this year!

We take along a range of our most popular products to each exhibition and try to have an example of each colour and style - giving you an opportunity to try before you buy. If you're looking to update your uniforms for 2019 you can find our growing list of exhibitions by clicking here. Continue reading →
