Description
I have significant experience in an innovative growing and hugely important area; Sustainable healthcare Thirteen years ago I started developing an academic interest in Sustainability in healthcare specifically but not limited to dentistry. I was the first to lead a team to carbon footprint a dental service- a year or so after NHS England had mapped their carbon footprint. From there I acquired funding to develop a more systematic carbon footprint of the dental service across England. I led a team of academics on developing seven academic thematic papers on sustainability in dentistry. Within life, and within healthcare we need to understand the key elements of what is the highest contributor to environmental degradation. In order to understand this I learnt how to perform Life Cycle Assessments, publishing eight LCA papers demonstrating where our environmental impact comes from. Recent papers look specifically looking at prevention - highlighting the environmental wins we can make through water fluoridation, and the use of fluoride preventive programmes. With more sustainability papers published in dentistry than any other author I am regarded as one of the global leaders in sustainable dentistry. International presentations I have presented at a number of international presentations as key speakers including: https://adee.org/meetings/adee-berlin/adee-berlin-invited-speakers https://www.facebook.com/OdontologiaPUJ/photos/a.479460758783825/2687778171285395 EDSA European Dental Students Association, Amsterdam April 2018.

I have led (with my co-author James Field) on Curriculum development in sustainability in dentistry Change within the practice of dentistry I sit on a number of academic and working groups (Australian Dental association, British Dental Association) and have provided consultancy advice to the European Dental Students Association, New Zealand Dental Association, the Canadian Dental Association, the Council of European Dentists etc, the British Dental Industry Association within this area. Change within regulatory groups I have had conversations with the General Dental Council on curriculum review within sustainability in dentistryProjects
