As you might have guessed, Leonard is Derek’s eldest son! Despite having had a ‘gentle nudge’ in the direction of dentistry as a child, Leonard confirms it has always been his ambition to be a dentist and work in the family business. Leonard also qualified from Queen’s University Belfast, where he ranked 1st in UK out of 1200 applicants during the Dental Foundation Training National Recruitment process. He now divides his time between being a General Dental Surgeon and an Operations Director within our dental group.
He has studied extensively since dental school, and amongst other things gained a Master of Business Administration from the University of Liverpool and a Master of Medical Law and Ethics from the University of Edinburgh. Further, Leonard holds Fellowships with the Faculty of Dental Trainers with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, as well as being a Fellow of the International College of Dentists.
He is the All-Ireland Early Career Ambassador with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and enjoys all aspects of teaching, lecturing, training dentists and dental nurses. Leonard is also the dental representative of the Local Commissioning Group (Southern Area).
He enjoys the variety that comes with general practice and family dentistry.
He is happily married to his wife Lauren and they have two young children together, Sophia and Leo.
