I am a dentist and Senior Clinical Teacher at King’s College London Dental Institute where I have established an innovative Clinical Humanities programme. With a degree also in English Literature, I am an advocate for interdisciplinary, cross–paradigmatic learning and have pioneered embedding arts and humanities curriculum interventions within the Health Professions since 2015. I am particularly interested in values- based practice in Dentistry and related health professions, the type of knowledge acquisition necessary to scaffold undergraduate clinicians’ professional identity formation for the 21st century and holistic learning to support person- centred care and to help address disparities in access to care.
