I have previously worked in a number of SHO posts in Cardiff and Liverpool, and I also have experience of working in the primary sector as both a Community Dental Officer and a General Dental Practitioner. I undertook my basic specialist training as part of the South Wales scheme, and gained my orthodontic specialist qualification from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2013. As part of my basic specialist training I also undertook an MScD thesis, involving a systemic review of the change in age of the pubertal growth spurt and it's potential impact on orthodontic treatment. I am now undertaking my higher specialist training based at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, with additional rotations to St Marys Hospital on the Isle of Wight, and Bristol Dental School, and preparing to sit my orthodontic Fellowship examination in the summer of 2015
