The Educational Supervisors: Nilesh and Preeya Sakerchand both qualified from The University of Birmingham in 2003 and 2005 respectively, they have worked in both NHS and private practices and have owned their current  practice since 2009. Nilesh has completed the Certificate in Restorative Dental Practice at the Eastman Dental Institute and has a keen interest in crown and bridge work.  He has also recently completed  the Royal College certificate course in minor oral surgery and as well as a PG Cert in Dental Law and Ethics.   Preeya has also completed a PG Cert in Dental Law and Ethics and has an interest in aesthetic dentistry recently  undertaking a Chris Orr certificate course in restorative dentistry and aesthetic restorative dentistry.   Both Nilesh and Preeya have  completed the MJDF examination in 2011.  They also have very recent experience in both starting up a practice from scratch and also in taking over an established patient base so can provide some valuable insight for a young dentist on the challenges they may face.  They have been involved in training since 2011.
