My name is Douglas Goodwin. I qualified from Cardiff Dental School in 1984 and have spent time in the hospital services and General Dental Practice.

I have been running a mainly NHS dental practice in Pontllanfraith for 25 years. For the last 20 years I have also worked as a part time clinical lecturer in Restorative Dentistry at Cardiff University Dental Hospital. I have previously been a VT trainer.

I have been a member of the Gwent LDC for about 20 years and represent the LDC on the South East Wales Managed Clinical Network Committee for Special Care Dentistry.
