Greg
qualified as a dentist in 1986 from Newcastle upon Tyne
Dental School and practised as a dentist in West Yorkshire
and Nottinghamshire both in his own single-handed practice
and also various group practices.
He commenced his legal training at Nottingham Law School
in 1991 whilst in dental practice and graduated in 1995
with a commendation in his diploma. He then became a trainee
solicitor with well-known healthcare law firms in Manchester
and was admitted as a solicitor in 1997. |
Greg
practised as a solicitor in the medical negligence field
and initially gained experience acting for patients and
also doctors and dentists. In August 2000 Greg joined
with David Corless-Smith with whom he had previously
worked, to found The Dental Law Partnership.
|
Greg was a
founding member of the International Dental Ethics and
Law Society and also the UK Dental Law and Ethics Forum.
He has written many articles for journals of law and ethics
and also dental journals, and a major accomplishment was
instigating and helping organise the publication of the
Radcliffe Medical Press textbook on dental law and ethics.
He has contributed to various programmes on Radio 4 and
has also featured in TV documentaries on dentistry. |
It is perhaps
fair to say that Greg was one of the pioneers in establishing
dental negligence as a legal speciality and he remains
fully focused and motivated to progress patients' rights
further. |
Greg is married
(to a dentist) and has 3 children. He lives in Shropshire
and his main interests when time permits are cycle racing
and triathlons in which he competes as regularly as possible. |
Greg
says, “after
many years I am continually surprised by the diversity
of cases I see and still get genuinely excited about
winning cases - especially the novel or high value ones!” |
