Meet the CONNECT dental research team

Trainee run and managed, CONNECT Trainees Group is a collective of like-minded people who are passionate about furthering their knowledge in the field of paediatric dentistry.

Meet the people who are currently driving forward our research

Our team members come from all areas of Northern England and Scotland. Moreover, each of us brings their own unique skill sets and areas of expertise to the table - both in and outside the dentistry field.

 

This diversity is what makes us such a dynamic, cohesive and successful team, and is something we are keen to uphold as we take on new members.
