I work as Clinical Director of Apple Tree Group and act as Lead Clinician to a team of approximately 30 outstanding clinicians, namely a team of Hygienists and Oral Health Educaters (OHEs) , a team of general dentists, and a team which focus on specialist and complex forms of dentistry. I host an Academy for this team, where together we devise pathways for best practice, which we believe exceeds national standards. The collaborative network of highly qualified clinicians, and our Forum for Scientific Debate, the Apple Tree Academy, makes our community of professionals some what unique in our service delivery.ASSOCIATE DENTAL SURGEONS
