About the Presenter
James qualified from Guys in 1981 and spent 6 months as House Surgeon before going into private practice.
In 1986 he set up his own practice and being of enquiring mind worked his way through the portfolio of postgraduate study offered by the Royal College of Surgeons and the Faculty of General Dental Practice gaining the ultimate, the Fellowship in 2004. He has a major interest in education and lectures widely, from VT right through to Fellowship Mentoring and is currently part of the Mentoring Development Group. He has been a Board member and also a Course Tutor for the IQE examination. James runs several hands-on courses with his well-known humorous style. He gained the Certificate in Practice Appraisal in 2005 and so is well aware of the real issues faced by General Practitioners.
Having been a keen Meccano builder as a child, James performs all his own prosthodontic laboratory work and is happiest hand-tinting acrylic for natural looking dentures or setting up teeth at the chairside with input from the patient.
