Alice qualified in 2015 with a BDS from the University of Birmingham, achieving academic honours and several prizes. Following this, she completed a Dental Core Trainee year in Maxillofacial Surgery and obtained the MFDS from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. She then returned to general practice while undertaking a Master’s in Restorative Dentistry, which she completed with distinction.
Alice joined UoB as Clinical Lecturer in Fixed and Removable Dentistry at the University of Birmingham in 2020, where she teaches and supervises students across all years of the BDS program. She is particularly passionate about supporting students in their development, both academically and clinically.
In addition to her teaching role, she serves as Quality Lead for the Department of Dentistry, a college-level position overseeing the delivery of high-quality education to undergraduate students. This role involves monitoring and enhancing the student learning experience, maintaining educational standards, and contributing to curriculum development. She is also a Personal Academic Tutor, providing both academic and pastoral support to students throughout their training.
Previously, she was the OSCE Lead for three years, where she played a key role in designing and delivering Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). She continues to be involved in undergraduate assessments and examinations, ensuring that students are evaluated fairly and effectively.
Beyond undergraduate education, she has contributed to postgraduate teaching on both the MSc in Restorative Dentistry and the MSc in Dental Materials Science, helping to develop the next generation of dental professionals.
Alongside her academic commitments, she is currently pursuing a part-time PhD focused on resin polymer usage in 3D printing, an area that ties into her broader interests in digital dentistry, clinical photography, and sustainability. Alice was part of the team which enabled Haptic Simulator integration into the Curriculum as well as use of scanners in the simulation courses. She has presented her research at national and international conferences and is committed to continuing her research and publishing at this level.
Before moving to Birmingham, she gained valuable clinical experience working in general practice in London.
Outside of dentistry, she enjoys participating in sports and staying active, which helps her maintain a balanced lifestyle. Through her research, teaching, and leadership roles, she strives to support students, enhance educational standards, and contribute to the evolving field of dentistry.
