Tell us a little about yourself
I’m a local lad who trained at King’s College. I’ve worked as a GDP in the Lambeth area within the NHS since 1992 . I’m a practice principle, education supervisor at NHS WFT&E. I’ve also been an IMOS provider under various contracts in Lambeth since 1985. I am passionate about the provision of NHS care that is accessible to everyone without regards to economic status.
I am also a founding member and trustee of the Charity Smile4Ghana.
How did you first get involved in the LDC?
I have been involved with the LDC on and off for the last 30 years and more recently become more active due to the current contract crisis.

Discussing the future of our beloved profession with people who are keen to work for improvements.

Public speaking and negotiating.
How do you see yourself applying the skills you’ve developed at your LDC in your wider life and career?
These skills are very helpful in my everyday role as a Principal of a practice and a Director of two Dental Schools
What would you say to colleagues who are interested but hesitant to get involved in the LDC?
This is a wonderful place to be. Meet likeminded colleagues ,network, share ideas and move our profession forward to where we all want it to be.

Isolation and no voice out there.
What do you do to relax outside of dentistry?
Listening to RnB music, reggae and travelling.
