Currently Group Clinical Manager for A&U dental surgeries, a family owned group of dental practices. Since qualifying in 2000, I have worked in both NHS and private general dentistry, as well as the community dental service, oral surgery services and cooperate leadership. I was a dental foundation educational supervisor for 5 years and then a training programme director for dental foundation training for a further 5 years and have a passion for dental education and development. I have completed postgraduate certificates in teaching and learning and in mentoring, coaching and leadership and have mentored many dentists. My passion is to help clinicians maintain successful careers in dentistry ensuring practices and clinicians are able to provide the best patient care to meet the needs and wants of their local population.
