The Educational Supervisor: I qualified in 2016 from University of Aberdeen, prior to that I completed a degree in Biomedical Sciences from University of Southampton. I completed my FD year with London Road Dental Practice and then stayed on for two years combining my work here and at another local training practice. In 2020, I returned to the practice full-time and became a joint ES. I live locally with my wife, and I enjoy playing football, running and dog walking for relaxation.

The Practice: We are a very busy, well established, mixed NHS/Private practice with over 13000 patients on our books. We offer a full range of NHS and Private treatments to our patients. You will be provided with a complete list of patients ranging from some that have attended the practice for years and are now in a maintenance phase of treatment to new patients who present with complex needs. This provides you with an excellent opportunity to perfect and embed all the skills you learn at dental school.

The practice has been on the same site for many years and was extended/refurbished in 2012 .It has four surgeries spread over two floors with good disabled access to the ground floor. The size and layout of the practice mean that social distancing is easily achieved and post Covid requirements have been put in place.

The practice is computerised moving towards paperless and also has digital x-rays in all surgeries. We are privileged to be supported by an excellent team of dental nurses and receptionists.

There is a an ongoing programme of refurbishment with a new decontamination room installed in 2018, a staff room where you can mix with your colleagues at lunch time and an office where tutorials and study sessions can be conducted away from the surgery. There is ample on site parking both for patients and staff.

The Area: Newark is a lively Market town with lots of history including a Castle and a Civil War museum. There are many bars and restaurants in the town, a cinema, theatre and a selection of independent shops. It also boasts  2 train lines-one running from Lincoln to Nottingham, the other the East Coast Mainline which means London,Leeds and beyond are not far away.

The A1 and A46 are also very close which means study days are easily accessible which mean Nottingham and Leicester are easily commutable and popular bases in the past for our FD's who enjoy City living.

Other Points of Interest: We are now in the enviable position of being an experienced training practice but with young blood to enhance our aim to provide our trainees with a well rounded start to their dental career in a relaxed, supportive environment.
