The Educational Supervisors:  Simon Bunting:  I have been an Educational Supervisor since 2001 for fifteen years. I am enthusiastic about dentistry and believe my job as an Educational Supervisor is to provide a trainee with a safe environment in which they can learn and flourish as a dentist but more importantly to make you enjoy your first year on the job .Many of my recent trainees work in the practice so the atmosphere is friendly young and sociable. I have a keen interest in implant based dentistry ,and so you can see how it is possible to do implant dentistry in a practice environment. The practice and to a certain extent the patients are used to the set up of a training practice .I believe i am calm and approachable and am still learning all the time. I feel privileged to have been an ES for many years  and expect to continue  to learn from each new trainee . Out of work I am an enthusiastic ( but untalented ) marathon runner and I compete in triathlons on a regular basis .I regularly run at lunch times as the evenings are taken up being a taxi for my three children .

 

Kayleigh Flint: I graduated from The University of Sheffield in 2009 and completed my year as a trainee at the practice with Simon Bunting as my trainer. This important first year of my career proved to be a genuinely fantastic learning experience and I am happy to have remained at the practice ever since. In 2012 I gained the MJDF qualification and I recently completed a PG Certificate in Clinical Education at the University of East Anglia. Clinically, I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and hope to pass on my enthusiasm to others. I am a very approachable and supportive member of the team and sensitive to the needs of new trainees. Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family, going for walks in the countryside, baking and shopping whenever possible!

 

The Practice: A ten surgery NHS family practice on the near to the centre of town, well equipped with friendly staff and an opportunity to see and learn from many different dentists with differing interests and specialties. The practice is part of a large group practice with many FDs within the group. As well as this in built support group there is an active social and sporting life to the practice with regular social sporting and practice meetings.

 

The Area: Lowestoft is as far east as you can go, in beautiful countryside, this small town has many facilities but is only half an hour away from the busy city of Norwich. Situated on the coast with an award winning beach and busy local sports clubs and social networks there is something for everyone. 

 

Other Points of Interest: The practice was the second in the country to be awarded the BS 5750 and we are working towards investors in people accreditation. I consider the practice to be forward thinking, essential in these unpredictable times in the NHS. Although large it is a very friendly practice with an active social life and football and cricket teams. Lowestoft is a lively town set on the coast in beautiful countryside and of course within minutes of the Suffolk/Norfolk broads. Rock stars The Darkness hail from Lowestoft and can be spotted  frequently trying to restart their flagging careers . 

There are ample opportunities to pursue many water sports, but landlubbers can follow many other sports all of which are catered for in the area. Convenient shopping centres are at Lowestoft (5 minutes), Yarmouth (10 minutes), Norwich (30 minutes) and Cambridge (60 minutes). Recent road improvements mean it is only 2 1/2 hours to London.

Accommodation will be offered and the trainee would be welcome to stay on after the training period.
