BDS, MFDS RCPSG, DipConSed, PGCert Clin Ed, FHEA
Clinical Lecturer in Oral Surgery
Overview
I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Distinction from the University of Bristol. I am currently a clinical lecturer and StR in Oral Surgery. I have recently been appointed to the GW4-CAT PhD fellowship scheme and look forward to starting my PhD in 2024.
Following dental foundation training in general dental practice, I completed dental core training over three years in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the South West of England. During this time I gained Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery with the Royal College of Surgeons Glasgow, and a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education with the University of Plymouth. I am a fellow of the higher education academy. I completed a diploma in conscious sedation from Kings College London in 2022.
