The Educational Supervisor: I have been an Educational Supervisor since January 2006 and I have sat on the panel of examiners for the MJDF and the NEBDN. I have obtained a postgraduate certificate in dental education and have a masters of law degree in medical law and ethics. I encourage postgraduate education in the FD and would warmly welcome a person who is keen to learn, integrate into our team and above all look after and treat our patients with high professional standards and integrity.
I have lectured for the London Deanery on anterior and posterior composites along with crown and bridgework. I particularly enjoy restorative dentistry.
I have a profound interest in legal matters and have lectured to FD's and ES's on topics such as the legality of the NHS Constitution and GDC Standards. I do enjoy teaching law and ethics. I have completed the Bond Solon course in expert witness accreditation in July 2019 which is run in tandem with Cardiff University's School of Law and Politics. I sit on the panel of expert witnesses for Dental Protection.
