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. He has recently completed a thesis entitled: ‘Microbial Contamination of Dental Unit Water Systems in General Dental Practice’. Although now retired from clinical practice he is still active in research and is currently part of a team investigating the possibility of the transmission of vCJD via contaminated dental instruments. Martin is also a scientific adviser, with a particular interest in infection control, to the British Dental Association. A popular speaker in the South West, Martin returns to Cornwall to deliver his excellent presentation.
