About

Hello, my name is Anesha Chauhan and I am a qualified Dental Nurse, registered with the General Dental Council.  I completed my dental nurse training and qualified in 2008 working in a dental hospital in Birmingham.  Being keen and proactive in my own learning and having exposure to complex dental care sparked an interest in research, and has led me to where I am today.

As part of my role within the Dental Research Network, I liaise with dental professionals and dental practices introducing them to potential research studies. Some studies aim to identify best practices, utilising staff experience to help shape the evidence, whilst others aim to improve patient satisfaction and dental care, with the patient at the center of their approach.

Being involved in research is a great way for the whole dental team to develop new career skills. I’m here to represent the career development available for dental nurses in research by showing you my journey so far.
