Julia graduated from University of Sheffield in 2010 and spent a year in general practice in North Yorkshire. Following this she trained within the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery department at Pinderfields General Hospital and found her passion for Oral Surgery. During this time she completed her Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery qualification with the Royal College of Surgeons (Edinburgh) and dental sedation training (SAAD) before moving to Australia in 2013.
She worked in Melbourne as an Oral Surgeon both in general practice and at the Royal Dental Hospital Melbourne, where alongside surgical duties she was involved in training for postgraduate dental students and dental ‘residents’
Once returning to the UK in 2016 and settling in Marlborough with her husband, Julia has worked as a Specialty Doctor in Oral Surgery at the Great Western Hospital, Swindon. Here she provides treatment under local and general anaesthetic and IV sedation for adults and children with complex treatments or medical complexities. She continues to enjoy teaching as part of her role and completed a Postgraduate certificate from University of Bristol in 2017.
She joined the One Wood Street team in 2021 and enjoys the variety that working in both practice and hospital provides. Julia has considerable experience working with anxious patients and strives to provide a relaxed environment for treatment. At Wood Street she offers oral surgery procedures including complex extractions, wisdom tooth removal and surgery prior to orthodontic treatment, under local anaesthetic or IV sedation.
Outside of work she enjoys an active lifestyle with her family and dog, hiking the local countryside, travelling and practising her hobby of nature photography.
