The Educational Supervisor: I qualified from the University of Manchester in 2004 and moved back to London for vocational training. I was working as an associate for 14 years before taking over Broadwater Dental Practice in 2018.  The practice has gone through a  modernisation programme and I continue to invest in upgrading the infrastructure and in new technology. I passed the MFGDP (RCSEng) exam in 2007 which consolidated my knowledge and completed a Diploma in Restorative Dentistry (RCSEng) in 2011 which allowed me to develop a specialist interest. I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Education which exposed me to different teaching and mentoring styles. I aim for my foundation dentist to have both an enjoyable and excellent introduction into general practice and I will do my best to support this. 

The Practice: Broadwater Dental Practice was established over 40 years ago and has served generations of local families. 
A full range of NHS treatments are provided as well as currently trending aesthetic treatments such as composite bonding, invisalign treatments and facial aesthetics.

Our patient base reaches far and wide and we have a stable, loyal patient base.
The practice has a very good local reputation and our former FDs are all fondly remembered by our patients. 
We are close to a retail park and a town center with local amenities such as shops, restaurants, cinema, bowling even trampolining!
As a team, we regularly like to have social events and have recently been invited to Hatfield House for an afternoon tea, courtesy of one of our lovely patients!

Other Points of Interest: Most of our previous FDs have been prize winners during their foundation year. There are opportunities to do post-graduate qualifications which the practice supports.
