Michael Rich - 
Former Dentist
Hello and welcome to my site!

My history (part one)

I qualified as a dentist more than 50 years ago from Manchester University in 1961.  After over 50 years ‘in the business’ I arranged (end of December 2012) for my name to be removed from the General Dental Council’s register so I am no longer, legally, a dentist.


I had my own practice for 25 years and also a part interest in a dental laboratory. I was also very involved in the training of dental nurses, being a member of the panel of examiners for their national examination for 20 years. I ran an evening class training course for them as well as mentoring trainee nurses in dental practices.


I am also the co-author (with one of my nurses) of a revision aid textbook for trainee nurses studying to pass their national exam (see the bar above for more about this).


My history (part two)

After leaving my own practice I worked at what was the Dental Practice Board here in Eastbourne  developing and running computer systems to detect fraud in the NHS dental service.


After just over six years there I returned to part time work in other dentists’ practices. I also qualified as a Lead Auditor for ISO 9000 Quality  Management Systems.


My history (part three)

In addition to my other activities I am a member of the General Dental Council’s private patients complaints panel.


I left the dental practice where I had  been working for the  previous seven years at the end of March 2012, after it had been sold and taken over by another dentist.


So now I am no longer working as a dentist and am enjoying what has become a very busy retirement.


In recent years I have developed an interest in painting - primarily Botanical Art. Check the link in the bar above to see examples of my work.
