He is on the examination board for the M. Clin Dent at Kings College London. He has been widely published and is co-author of “A Clinical Guide to Periodontology” published by BDA Books ISBN 0904588807 and contributed several chapters to the book “A Clinical Guide to Implants in Dentistry” edited by R M Palmer, again published by BDA Books ISBN 090458867X.
