The Educational Supervisor: I have been an Educational Supervisor since 2016 along with my partner Amit Patel. Since 2017 we have had two FDs in the practice and we use our joint experience and knowledge to provide support for our Foundation Dentists throughout their FD year and beyond. I am a Platinum Elite Invisalign provider and as such complete numerous orthodontic cases together with full mouth rehabiliation cases. Amit and I contribute to the day release course of the foundation training scheme. When I'm not at the practice I enjoy participating in different sports including badminton, golf and cycling. Recently I have taken up yoga and meditate at a local Hindu temple which helps with body and mind wellbeing and stress alleviation. I enjoy keeping fit in the gym along with socialising with friends. We provide numerous social activities at the practice throughout the year to aid team building and transition into practice.
