DescriptionDr Martin Fulford originally trained as a microbiologist and spent 13 years as a practical medical microbiologist. Retrained as a dentist in his mid thirties and then spent 17 years working as a general dental practitioner in the UK. During this time he managed to combine clinical dentistry with research, mainly in the field of infection control. Although now retired from clinical practice he is still active in research and is a scientific adviser, with a particular interest in infection control, to the British Dental Association. As an expert witness for the GDC's Professional Conduct Committee, this popular speaker is well-placed to deliver insights into good prescribing practice for dental conditions and to provide strategies for minimising risks of a GDC investigation.
