I started working at Oakfield Clinic in November 2010, after qualifying as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 2008. Since completing MSc Physiotherapy (pre-registration)  degree at University of Essex, I have NHS experience in musculoskeletal outpatients, amputees, orthopaedics, intermediate care rehabilitation centres, acute medicine, cardio-respiratory, neurology and oncology. Prior to this I completed a BSc (Hons) Sports Rehabilitation and Injury Prevention degree at Middlesex University.

I feel my qualifications and experience lead to a comprehensive treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions and rehabilitation. I am very keen on Continuing Professional Development to enhance my skills and provide the most recent evidence based practice.

Stuart has worked some 25 years in the dental laboratory profession constructing dentures and crown and bridge appliances, and has added to this vast knowledge by qualifying as a dental clinician with the Royal college of surgeons . This enables him to supply dentures to his patients from start to finish. Although clinical dental technicians are relatively new to these shores, in canada and Australia among other countries it is not new practice.

Stuart is one of only a few clinical dental technicians operating in the uk and we are delighted to be able to offer this service to our patients. ” I think this is a very important part of the dental jigsaw, I work very closely with my dental colleagues and at the end of the day all we aim for is patient satisfaction and managing patients expectations.I am especially delighted to be working closely with my implant surgeon so that we can offer a solution to the common problem of loose bottom dentures. We do not charge for an assessment or consultations. To book an appointment with Stuart please call us on 01375 396193.
