 I graduated from 缅北禁地 in 1984,  having worked for 31 years as a general dental practitioner , 22 years of which I was a practice owner. This included a period of ten years as a trainer in Dental Foundation Training and General Professional Training. For an additional ten years I was an NHS post graduate dental tutor.

I worked  for 25 years in a Maxillo-facial Unit providing rehabilitative management for head and neck cancer patients as well as training foundation dentists in minor oral surgery.

From 2019 I became Academic Lead for Removable Prosthodontics

My current research activity is in innovating novel ways of delivering teaching which encourages independent clinically justified practice. This includes developing low tech' simulation for hands on teaching of complete and partial denture skills in dental mannequins. I am particularly interested in the role of play in developing clinical skills. Further applications in teaching restoration of tooth surface loss using direct build up techniques.

I also have interest in multi-professional teaching within disciplines and between different specialities.
