As dental professionals, we have an obligation to make our patients feel safe and heard and we need to consider the values they hold without imposing our beliefs on them. How can we do this? Hassan also questioned this! Hassan quickly learned after entering clinical practice his passion for education and as such, took a non-conventional pathway very early into his career. 

In this episode of the Talk Dental to Me Podcast I had the pleasure of having Hassan Shariff, a clinical and academic teaching fellow at UHI Scotland and we take a deep dive into his journey, what representation means in dentistry and the considerations that teams and practices can take to ensure minority groups feel welcomed not only in the dental practice but also in dental education settings.

Listen in as Hassan unpacks this for us so comprehensively and also with some practical changes clinics can implement which can result in improved clinical and non-clinical outcomes for patients!
