Hill and country walking.

Opera, classical and folk music.

I was a general dental practitioner for 36 years and had my own practice for 20 of those years. I believed in developing a rapport with patients and being honest at all times. I saw patients from all walks of life and used the best materials and laboratories for both NHS and private cases. I have mentored and advised dentists for 10 years through my work with Health Education England for 10 years so am well versed in the GDC Fitness to Practice pathway and how it can affect dentists in difficulty. I use an empathetic approach in meetings with practitioners and take confidential minutes to assist them in their remediation. I therefore feel that my experience can be of great benefit in helping dentists in all sorts of situations.
