I have completed the Diploma of Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS) with the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Glasgow. I also completed a postgraduate certificate in Medical Education through Cardiff University, which granted me Fellowship with Advance HE. In 2024 I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in conscious sedation for dentistry at King's College London, graduating with distinction.
