Meet the Team
Having worked in dentistry for a couple of decades, I am convinced that the work of dental teams has never been as important to the population's well-being or that dentistry has never been a more challenging work place than it is right now.
The tutoring team at GBPPP have extensive combined experience of the day-to-day challenges of providing excellent dental services. We have pleasure in supporting our dental colleagues in clinics all over the UK and internationally and enabling them to find innovative ways to overcome the never-ending range of unprecedented circumstances that are now part of everyday life.
We recognise that all our learners are unique, so we have created courses that recognise and celebrate their uniqueness; whether they have concerns about their IT skills or the courses' financial requirements, we can provide options to enrich their learning experience and meet their needs.
We offer a range of academic and professional CPD courses. A subject specialist leads each area of the curriculum with a team of tutors and experts in the skill set.
We respond to each enquiry made through our website by sending our course brochure and invite the enquirer to call us and discuss their unique learning requirements. To learn more about any of our courses, please click here to make an enquiry

Alison Fisher AIM
Deputy Head of Centre
I have worked in dentistry for 25 years as a dental nurse and practice manager. I have qualifications in Oral Health Education and teaching. I am passionate about developing dental professionals' skills and empowering nurses to extend their scope of practice
I have worked in Dentistry since 1999. I qualified as a Dental Nurse in 2001. During my 25 years working in dentistry, I have had various roles within the dental team including OHE, FVA and mentoring trainee dental nurses.
I have worked for 5 years in a mixed private/NHS practice in North Wales as a HIW registered manager and practice manager. As my interest in dentistry evolved, I progressed to a role in dental management, as I developed a keen interest in dental compliance.
My drive for my ongoing development inspires me to support others in their professional journey and provides opportunities to apply my leadership skills and experience to benefit others

EP Denta
Successful people are not gifted - they work hard, stay focused and succeed on purpose!
Everyone can do it - I will show you how!
I have worked in dental practices for over 19 years and what a journey it has been!
Starting my career in a clinical role, I soon realised I was really enjoying being more involved within the practice. I naturally took on a leadership role and soon discovered my ability to influence my team and achieve great results through people. Yes, I have struggled too and made mistakes. It was not always smooth sailing but my determination soon lead me onto the path of business and compliance management.
Working in Private, NHS, Specialist Referral and Implant Training Clinics, gave me a good insight into the business of dentistry and the power of great leadership. Everything I did then and do even more now, is driven by passion and genuine interest to get the best out of people and help them find fulfilment in their roles. Results always translate into a better working environment, productive teamwork, higher levels of motivation and happier patients who will generate further business. That's what keeps me going and it's so powerful!
My ultimate goal is to help dental professionals discover their confidence, build their knowledge and skills so they are ready to take control when it comes to creating and maintaining systemised, compliant and profitable dental practices with patient focused systems and committed teams.
