The Educational Supervisor: I qualified in November 1985 from the University of Amsterdam. I have been a Dental Foundation Educational Supervisor since 1991 continuously and have thoroughly enjoyed my involvement in Foundation Dentistry. As a practice, we support and promote the professional development of each member of staff. I have greatly enjoyed the role as trainer and the challenges and rewards it brings.
