BDS University of Liverpool 2008
I am a passionate and highly skilled dentist driven by my desire to provide excellent care to my patients; old and new! I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2008 after winning several academic and clinical prizes at Undergraduate level. These include the Thomas H Bickerton Prize in Anatomy and Physiology, the Dental Alumni Association Prize and the 3M Unitek Prize in Orthodontics.
Since qualification, I have worked as a General Dental Practitioner in Liverpool developing a particular interest in Restorative and Implant Dentistry. I am incredibly driven to provide exceptional, lifelong care for all of my patients and I am committed to the continuous nature of learning, studying and acquiring the most up-to-date knowledge in the evolving field of dentistry.
My commitment to further study has led me to undertake extensive Postgraduate Training achieving the prestigious accolade of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties at the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
I have gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Dental Implantology from the University of Salford and a Diploma in Restorative Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. I have always maintained a strong interest in Restorative Dentistry and a desire to restore teeth to their natural function wherever possible.
My interest in Implant Dentistry has secured my decision to study for a Masters Degree in Implantology through the University of Salford. I am currently undertaking a Postgraduate Certificate in Sedation to allow me to help manage even the most nervous of patients.
I am proud to have used my own knowledge and skills to help with the training of newly qualified Dentists as an Educational Supervisor. I have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Clinical Practice with Edge Hill University and I was delighted to be awarded the title of Educational Supervisor of the Year 2018/2019 for the North West Region. I have also used my skills to help train undergraduate Dentists as a Clinical Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry at Liverpool Dental School.
I take an active role in improving dental services across our local region. I have been a member of the Liverpool Local Dental Committee for many years, and I have also been a representative on the Merseyside and Cheshire Local Dental Network and Managed Clinical Network for Oral Surgery.
My passion for passing on my knowledge of dentistry has led me to be involved in promoting good oral health via both TV and radio outlets. I have featured in National TV adverts for Sensodyne; lectured on behalf of Colgate, and featured on ITV Granada Reports and BBC Radio Merseyside. Some of these features have focused upon my work with local schools.
My ethos within dentistry is one based upon prevention via education and installing good oral health regimes from an early age. These beliefs have led me to visit numerous school and nursery settings in Liverpool where I have been able to share knowledge, answer questions and hopefully inspire some future dentists!
Outside of Dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my wife and my three young children.
I am an avid supporter of Liverpool Football Club and like to attend matches whenever I get the chance.
Keeping fit is really important to me and I enjoy going the gym, cycling and running, having completed the Liverpool Marathon in 2012 and London Marathon in 2017.
