Picture of Kirsty Smith

I am currently a Specialty Doctor in Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine, working within NHS Lothian. I graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2020 and completed Vocational Training in Aberdeenshire. I have undertaken Dental Core Training roles in NHS Grampian across the Public Dental Service, Restorative, Oral Surgery and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. I have also worked within the national Cleft Lip and Palate service, Special Care and Oral Surgery within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

I have been a member of the Dental Trainees' Committee since it was founded in 2021 and have held the role of Secretary prior to moving into the current role as Chair. I gained my membership to the College in 2022.

I am incredibly proud to be a part of this group and all the work we have already achieved. I am very much looking forward to continuing to represent both the voices of trainees and the College on a wider platform.
