Previous Experience : SHO level - 6 years
I have been exposed to a wide range of Oral and maxillofacial conditions during my SHO training which includes Head & Neck pathology , facial deformity congenital defects and facial trauma.

Page 5 of 14
I have assisted in Major Head & Neck surgical procedures including neck dissection, micro vascular reconstruction, using free flaps, salivary gland operations, repair of cleft lip & palate with iliac bone graft, osteotomy and temporomandibular procedures.During my period in the Leeds teaching hhospitals and Leeds Dental Institute I had opportunity to work under cconsultants with specific interests in the above field. I have also developed my knowledge and improvised my skills in the dentoalveolar surgeries with the help and support from my senior colleagues including procedure under local anaesthetic and intravenous sedation.During my career I have learnt to prioritise my duties, understand my limitations, seek help when appropriate and improved my communication skills and record keeping. I acquired knowledge and experience in treating patients with complex medical problems and dealt with medical emergencies in oral surgical setup.
Additional Activities:
Clinical supervisor and tutor for junior trainees In our department, I am actively involved in supervising and guiding the junior trainees in order to help them to gain confidence in treating oral surgery patients. I also conduct minor oral surgery and clinic sessions with junior trainees under the instruction of consultants and work together on patients under local and general anaesthetics to help them to gradually develop confidence and improve the surgical skills.
I organise and deliver weekly tutorials to the junior members and nursing staffs in the view of helping them to prepare for the membership exams and to discuss current thinking and evidence based approach.
Clinical governance activities
Regular attender of clinical governance meetings and work together with my colleagues to improve quality of service and ensure high standard of care to the patients treated in our department
So far my contribution towards achieving the above goal includes regular course attendance including mandatory training, involve and support junior trainees in audit projects, to implement evidence based approach, identify and support risk management in our working environment.Since 2008, I have developed number of protocols and policies for our department in the view of providing standardised care to our patients in treating a particular condition.
The following protocols were developed by me since 2008

Teaching Experience
I have developed the teaching programme in our department from August 2008 for the SHO/DF2’s with weekly lectures session aimed to help them to prepare for the membership exams and ensure they were kept up-to-date with the current developments in oral surgery.
The teaching session covers a wide range of oral surgery topics, including discussions of papers and journal club meetings under the supervision of consultants.
I have lectured along with my consultant to the local dentists organised by the Deanery, and planned to continue delivering periodic lectures in the future. I took every opportunity to seek advice and suggestions from my senior colleagues, and always wanted to give my best input to deliver precise and informative lectures in order to reach Individuals with varied levels of exposure in the field of oral surgery.Due to my academic interest and passion towards teaching, this opportunity and responsibility has given me encouragement to update regularly with a view to prepare for these lectures.
I have also attended relevant courses in relation to teaching and mentoring to develop my skills.
