The Educational Supervisor: I qualified from Liverpool with a BDS in 2001. I immediately carried out one year of vocational training in Kent and then continued working as an associate in North London. In 2004, I moved to Cambridge and worked as a GDP at Antwerp House Dental Practice for over 15 years.  During this time I have gained a certificate in Conscious sedation from Addenbrookes Hospital and have continued my training with further SAAD courses. I have also trained as an Invisalign dentist and am continually developing my skills in all aspects of this field of dentistry.
I have been an Educational Supervisor for the Peterborough Scheme since 2010 and have completed my PGCert in Dental Education. Training FDs has been a passion of mine for years and feel that I have gained a lot of experience which I can impart to the FD.

The Practice: Antwerp House Dental Practice is a large Edwardian House located on the corner of busy cross roads near the centre of Cambridge. The practice opened in 1999 and was the first practice of what is now a group of 6 practices within Antwerp House Group. The practice has undergone a major refurbishment to a very high specification in 2010. It is a very busy practice offering NHS, Independent and Private treatment. The practice is fully computerised with on-line transmissions for NHS treatment forms with the use of digital X-Rays.

Antwerp House has a fully operating decontamination room to HTM-0105 and are continually striving towards best practice with the use of facilities such as a washer disinfector. The practice has an outstanding cross-infection control culture and are constantly updating our knowledge with in house and external training.

We have a dedicated teaching facility and are now into our third year of the Antwerp House Academy. The practice is following the Investors in People business development process to drive the effectiveness of the business forward.

The Area: Cambridge is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and affluent city with a very diverse group of people and things to do. It is an exciting city with many technology parks and is a much regarded centre of learning due to the influence of Cambridge University.

We also have several practitioners within Antwerp House who carry out periodontology, endodontology, orthodontics - including Invisalign, osseo-integrated dental implants, facial rejuvenation procedures and full mouth rehabilitation offering diverse support to the FD.
