Lecturer profileAfter originally qualifying as a General Nurse in 1989 I gradually drifted towards dentistry and graduated from Leeds Dental Institute in 2007 as a Dental Hygienist and Therapist. Since then I have worked in my own General Dental Practices, both NHS and Private, teach the whole dental team as a freelance lecturer and was a senior lecturer at Teesside University for three years. I was also the Hygiene and Therapy Educational Supervisor at HENE (Northern Deanery) and set up a VT course for newly qualified therapists.

Currently, as well as working in practice, I am a member of the NEBDN Oral Health Education Committee and a Presiding Examiner for the NEBDN Oral Health Certificate. I am also a Clinical Advisor to the GDC and act as an expert witness for them in FtP cases.
