Paul qualified from Newcastle-upon-Tyne University, School of Dental Sciences in 1990. Following his vocational training, Paul has been involved for many years with innovating, leading and delivering services in primary care at Queensway Dental Clinic. In 1995 Paul completed his extended training in conscious sedation at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. By 1997 he had completed his diploma in conscious sedation. Additionally, in 1997, Paul obtained the Royal College of Surgeons’ Faculty of General Dental Practitioners’ Diploma in General Dental Practice.

Since 1997, Paul has been involved in establishing conscious sedation services in primary care to reduce dependency on hospital based general anaesthesia. This involvement led him to develop the evidence base for new conscious sedation techniques resulting in his achieving a Master of Philosophy in 2003 followed by a Doctorate of Philosophy in 2005 from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Following his PhD, Paul was invited to become a visiting academic for the University where he regularly contributes to the training of postgraduates in the Diploma and Conscious Sedation.

Most recently, in 2008, Paul completed his extended training in implant dentistry at the University of Warwick Medical School where he gained Master of Science in implant dentistry. In 2009 Paul was invited to become a regional tutor of implant dentistry for the University of Warwick.

In 2001, Ian was awarded the MFGDP qualification and this was followed by the Diploma in Conscious Sedation in 2002 from Newcastle University.
