Lecturer Details: BSPD Lecture: Should our patients come first? Getting it Right for Everyone.

Lecturer nameDr Elizabeth Roebuck BDS, FDS (Paed Dent) RCS(Edin), MSc (Med Sci), FHE
Lecturer profileLiz works as a Consultant and Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer in Paediatric Dentistry in Edinburgh. She completed her undergraduate training last decade and moved north of the Border two years later for what was planned as a ‘short visit’. Thirty years later, she’s still there. She completed her Paediatric Dental training in Edinburgh and Glasgow, commuting between the two cities for a number of years. She currently represents dentistry on the Local Negotiating Committee which has been a ‘fascinating insight into the benefits of active representation’, and, after many years in the sport, recently sat the Diploma an Fitness and Nordic Walking, qualifying as a Nordic Walking Instructor in May 2017.

She describes her ‘spare time’ interests as walking, talking and crafting (papercutting is the current fad), and is beginning to contemplate life beyond dentistry – the ‘trosieme age’.
