Meet the speaker

Rhian qualified from Cardiff in 1997 and apart from her VT year has dedicated her career to Oral Surgery. Following the successful completion of the SpR post at Birmingham Dental Hospital she was admitted to the Surgical Dentistry Specialist List in 2004. Even at the start of her training, Rhian felt passionately that, for many patients, oral surgery could be delivered in a Primary Care setting.
