Episode 6: Alex Asquith

Alex Asquith qualified from Leeds in 2012. In this episode, he kindly shares his experience of being involved in a GDC fitness-to-practice case, a scenario we all fear.

Alex works in private practice and is also a clinical demonstrator at the Leeds dental institute.

In this episode, we discuss:
Why Alex chose Dentistry.
His experience as an Undergraduate Demonstrator and the differences between undergraduates today vs 10 years ago.
The typical first NHS job an undergraduate would have applied for.
Working in a busy NHS practice and the pressures dentists face.
What happens when that GDC letter lands on your doormat.
The light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome to Dentistry Unmasked with Aman Bharti. We will be discussing everything clinical, business but also social. So we'll be really peeling under the layers to get to know our guests in long conversations and trying to understand the wins and the troubles that we have as clinical dentists.

It's a difficult profession, but it's also a very enjoyable profession. One of the other motivations that I have for this podcast, is talking about subjects that people don't really want to talk about, such as social media, such as depression and many more.

This is Dentistry Unmasked.
