A first for Peninsula

Tim’s achievement firmly marks the School and the Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise as a speciality training centre in restorative dentistry, complementing the already successful dental public health speciality training programme and the nationally recognised academic clinical fellowship training programme for primary care practitioners.

His new qualification will allow Tim to apply for a consultant position in restorative dentistry.

Tim qualified at Guy’s Hospital in London and has worked in a range of practices, including one in Australia. He undertook specialist training at the Eastman Hospital in 1997, remaining there to teach dentists training to be specialists.

He joined Peninsula as an academic clinical fellow in 2012, and was funded by the National Institute for Health Research to undertake training in additional specialities and to participate in research – focusing on how to make dental care safer for patients.

He is an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and London and acts as an expert witness in legal cases and other matters under consideration by the General Dental Council.
