Christopher said:

"As part of my MPH degree, I was able to carry out a piece of qualitative research I am immensely proud of. My project involved inductive thematic analysis of a number of semi-structured interviews regarding the health and wellbeing of NHS General Dental Practitioners during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their thoughts and opinions on future contract reform.

The project was then submitted in poster format to the BASCD (British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry) Summer Scientific Meeting and was chosen as a runner-up in the Borrow Foundation Early Career Research Prize.

The abstract will be published in a supplement of the Community Dental Health Journal, and I am now pursuing publication of a research article with my supervisor."
