Gaining her PGCert in Teaching and Learning in Clinical Practice, she went on to be a valued member of the mersey deanery. After 3 years as an Educational Supervisor, Emma branched out into Undergraduate Dental Education, working part time as a Clinical Lecturer in Restorative Dentistry at the University of Liverpool alongside her role as an Associate Dentist and ES, after 2 years teaching on the undergraduate restorative clinic, Emma was appointed Clinical Lecturer in Primary Dental Care at the University of Liverpool.
Emma decided to become a full time academic when the new role of Clinical Lecturer in Primary Dental Care came into fruition and has completed her PG Diploma in Academic Practice. As a full clinical academic, Emma enjoys the challenges that come with a new role, balancing clinical teaching alongside dental education research. The School of Dentistry's new Centennial Curriculum has brought plenty of opportunities for Emma to embrace.
