The Educational Supervisor: I have currently been a ES for 5 years now and have had a tremendous experience during that time. 

I graduated in 2005 from the Royal London Hospital and completed my VT year in Brockley, South London. I had a amazing time during my VT year and promised myself that one day I would try to offer the same opportunity that I had to someone newly qualified. 

After my VT year, I went and became a Maxillofacial SHO at Luton & Dunstable Hospitals for 3 years which involved taking your own patients for an GA list and assisting the Consultants on the ward and in theatre. During that time, I discovered that I really enjoyed the surgical aspect of Dentistry, I decided to then do a MSc in Implant Dentistry at Bristol University. I finished that in 2016 and have been placing implants since then.

Recently, I have applied to do another MSc in Medical Ethics and Law as I feel that our profession is becoming more litigious and  feel that we must improve our knowledge in this area to protect ourselves in the future.

The Practice:  I have a 4 chair practice located on a busy high street in Debden, Essex.

We have a large pool of regular patients numbering approximately 6000 and have local primary schools in the area.

It is a modern practice with digital radiographs, rotary endodontics and a separate decontamination room.

The Area: Debden is a busy area located in Loughton which is only 5mins away by car. It is a vibrant area located in Essex but close to London. It is well served with excellent transport links to London and the rest of Essex and East Anglia.

There is a London underground station - Debden located on the Central line which is 5 minutes walk from the practice.

Other Points of Interest: We have a associate who is a Clinical tutor for Endodontics at GKT who regularly helps my FDs with all their endodontic related questions.
