Specialist Periodontist
I and the team at Dental Update are delighted to welcome Ian to the Dental Update Editorial Board. Ian qualified from Leeds in 1998 and went into general practice in the North-West of England. In 2001, he was awarded Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practice. In 2002, he joined the teaching staff at Liverpool Dental Hospital in the Periodontology Department, where he became the Undergraduate Teaching Lead in Periodontics and a Senior Clinical Teacher in Periodontics, a role he held for 5 years until 2018. In 2010, he completed his MSc in Periodontology and, in 2013, he was admitted to the GDC Specialist List in Periodontics.
Ian is the Perio Lead for the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners and runs their short course in Periodontics: he leads the Perio components of the FGDP Restorative Diploma.
Ian spends three days a week in private practice in the North-West of England, where he takes referrals for all aspects of Periodontology. He is the British Society of Periodontology (BSP) regional representative for Merseyside and Cheshire, and serves on their Council as Commercial Liaison Officer. In 2014, he was also elected to the BSP Faculty.
As can be seen from this impressive CV, Ian will bring a wealth of practical periodontal experience to the Board and ultimately to the readers of Dental Update. Ian, you are most welcome.
