The Educational Supervisors: I, Soula, qualified from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa in 1992 and came to the UK in 1994. I worked as an associate for a few years and set up Broxbourne Dental Care with my partner in 1997. I am a practice principal in a partnership, and the practice has been a foundation training practice since 2010. I also obtained a Diploma in Medical education in 2015. I have 2 children, a dog and in my free time I enjoy walking, cooking and jewelery making.
I Mo, qualified in 2007 from Barts and London and did my vocational training in Essex on the Ipswich scheme. I then worked as an associate for a further four years before embarking full time on a MsC in Conservative Dentistry from the Eastmans and qualified in 2013. I work in Broxourne and London. I have recently become a parent and am looking forward to this chapter in my life.
The Practice: Broxbourne Dental Care is a 6 surgery practice with 7 dentists and 2 hygienists. We are a mixed NHS and private practice, offering all aspects of dentistry. The other partner has a Diploma in Implant Dentistry and an opportunity to see these been placed would be offered. We are a 6 minute walk from the train station and all surgeries are fully equipped, air-conditioned, have digital radiography and SoE software. The practice has a purpose built decontamination room and a small kitchenette used as a staff room. It is located on the high street, with a shop front location on the ground floor, with disabled access. It is a very friendly place to work in, with a team of people who get on really well.
The Area: Broxbourne is situated 3.5 miles north of the M25 junction 25 and is on the Cambridge to London Liverpool Street line. The village setting has expanded in the last few years to merge with the pleasant town of Hoddesdon which has all the amenities such as a post office, banks and supermarkets. Broxbourne is predominantly a middle class area, treating families, thereby allowing for all aspects of dentistry. It is close to Brookfield Centre allowing for shopping as it has good selection of shops.
Other Points of Interest: The other dentists in the practice all have an interest in teaching, with the other practice owner placing implants and teaching as well, whilst some of the other practitioners have attained their MsC in restorative and teach as well.
The area is green enough to appear as though it is in the country and yet really close to London. It has shopping, gyms, and the popular town of Hertford is only 15 minutes away by car for a night out.
