The Educational Supervisor: I gained my undergraduate dental qualification from the University of Bristol in 2004. After my vocational training year in Devon, I spent 18 months as a Senior House Officer in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery at the local District General Hospital. During this time, I completed my MFDS RCS (Eng) qualification. Since then I have worked in a general practice setting. I have not been an educational supervisor before and I feel very privileged and keen to have been given the opportunity to be one.

I believe that this year for a foundation dentist is a very important introduction to general practice and vital to develop skills and confidence required for a successful onward career as a dentist. During the year my role will be to provide a safe environment, guidance, mentoring, teaching and support so that the foundation dentist can flourish and have a productive and enjoyable year. I enjoy all aspects of clinical dentistry but am particularly keen on composite restorations, endodontics and minimally invasive dentistry.

When I'm not working and not being kept busy by my young daughter I enjoy baking, arts and crafts.

 

The Practice: Friends Dental Practice is located in Sprowston, Norwich. It has recently undergone a major refurbishment and has a classy, modern decor. There are 3 large surgeries, a decontamination room, a staff room, a reception area and a comfortable waiting area for patients. There is on-site parking available as well as plenty nearby.

The practice operates with the EXACT Software of Excellence software and EXAMINE PRO digital Imaging for intraoral radiographs. Each surgery is equipped with its own television, internet facilities and air conditioning/heating.

Friends Dental Practice is a mixed NHS/Private practice consisting of a heterogenous patient base with varying clinical needs.

The team consists of 5 associates, 1 hygienist, 6 staff between nurses & receptionists and a practice manager.

We always use Rotary Endodontics on NHS and private patients alike. We mainly use Protaper and WaveOne systems and each of the three surgeries has its own rubber dam kit. We also use the Morita ZX apex locator.     Image Image
