Both Urvi and Jilna have worked in mixed NHS and private practices and have worked together as joint trainers since 2015. We strongly believe that having 2 trainers provides a fantastic opportunity to gain experience and knowledge from 2 different clinicians. We believe that foundation training is all about building on your clinical skills in a fun, supportive and stress-free environment. We are extremely committed to Dental Foundation Training and look forward to helping the foundation dentist develop in all aspects of general dentistry.
