Professional Training, obtaining the Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons in Glasgow in 1986.

In 1987 I began my specialist training with The Eastman Dental Hospital (associated with the Institute of Dental Surgery, University of London). This included a three month elective clinical study attachment in the Prosthodontics Department of the University of Washington in Seattle, USA.

In June 1992 I was appointed to the newly created post of Consultant in Restorative Dentistry for the South Devon Healthcare Trust at Torbay Hospital and for the Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust at Derriford Hospital, Plymouth. I have been supporting the dentists in this region as their Heath Trust Consultant and with my private consultancy practice for over ten years.

I am registered on both the Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontic Specialist Lists held by the General Dental Council.

I am married to Kerry (another dentist), we have three children and we live in Plymouth.
