Hands-on skill development with Clyde Munro
Nafisah Kashmiri is a Dental Therapist at 121 Dental Care in Arbroath, part of the Clyde Munro Dental Group. She recently utilised the mentoring and clinical support available from Drs Charlie Evans and Aisling Hanly and shares her experience:
“I have been working as a Dental Therapist in practice for almost a year now. I found that, despite theory learned from university being crucial to providing proper care and treatment for patients, the remaining skills came from experience gained in practice and acquired from those around me.
“I spent a morning at Clyde Munro’s Advanced Dentistry & Clinical Skills Centre. This opportunity consisted of reviewing techniques to support and further enhance our existing skills. These included administering local anaesthetic, the theory of selective caries removal, techniques for placing larger amalgam restorations in the phantom head lab and an informative group discussion about the management of caries in children.
“The level of support I receive from Clinical Advisors at Clyde Munro is great and highly useful in reassuring me about the way that I practice. The environment encourages me to discuss personal struggles with aspects of patient management and taking notes with the more experienced practitioners around me. The sessions really help to support and better my approach for future.”
