The Practice: We are situated in a purpose made, state of the art primary health care facility on Pritchatts Road, Edgbaston alongside a general medical practice and physiotherapy services. We are based on the first floor and a lift is provided. There are four spacious dedicated treatment rooms, a staff room and an office for staff members to use. The staff at the practice are all long-standing members, many of whom have been there for over 20 years!
The foundation dentist has a modern up-to-date surgery room with assistance from a qualified supportive dental nurse, who has been working for over 25 years.
The Area: We are only a short walk away from the main University of Birmingham campus, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King Edwards Schools and Harborne High Street. We are easily reachable by car, bus or train. Car parking is available on site and we are approximately a 10 minute walk from University Train Station
Other Points of Interest: Both Educational Supervisors have been heavily involved with dental foundation training for some years and take a keen interest in continual education and development. The practice possesses a great learning opportunity for someone who is enthusiastic and eager to learn and develop a variety of skills. There are opportunities to assist in implant surgery, undertake surgical extractions, and perform complex endodontic treatments using rotary equipment.
