Staff Development
"You never stop learning, and you can learn something new every day." Never were words more true than in dentistry. The whole team at Atkinson Brignall Caring Dentistry is constantly striving to learn more about the wishes and needs of our patients, and how best to provide treatments and fulfil those wishes.
Dentistry is one of the most highly regulated professions in the world. Regulatory bodies such as the General Dental Council, the Care Quality Commission and Public Health England take all aspects of patient care very seriously, and all our dentists and nursing staff have personal development plans that track our goals and ambitions each year.
We have some of the most experienced and qualified dentists in Sevenoaks working with us. Ian Brignall has his MSc in Aesthetic Dentistry, Ennata Adeleye has her MSc in Periodontology, Annabelle Carter is a university lecturer and accredited specialist in paediatric dentistry, Nicola Crawford is a hospital consultant and accredited specialist orthodontist, and Robert Crawford is a hospital consultant and accredited specialist in Endodontics.
We all have Continuing Professional Development requirements to fulfil and maintain our professional registration, and we meet regularly as a team to share experience and ensure our high standards never slip. Working alongside colleagues with such a wealth of experience means our patients have access to a huge depth of knowledge whenever they visit us.
Our clinicians and support staff regularly undertake continuing professional development, covering both clinical skills and wider aspects of patient care. This helps ensure that the advice and treatment we provide reflects current best practice.
We believe that a well-trained, motivated team is central to providing excellent care, and we are proud to support our staff in developing their skills and knowledge throughout their careers with us.
