Mr Vaseekaran Sivarajasingam, Professor of Oral Surgery and Consultant Oral Surgeon, Clinical Director Cardiff University Dental Hospital, Cardiff and Vale University Health Board
In my role as Clinical Director at University Dental Hospital, I oversee strategic planning and implementation of comprehensive dental services for CAVUHB. One notable initiative I spearheaded is the Intermediate Oral Surgery Service, a successful community-based program that aligns with HB and Welsh Government objectives of enhancing Primary Care Services and providing care closer to peoples’ homes. Additionally, I lead the Bevan Exemplar focused on Developing and Delivering Dental Sedation Services and Training Centre, fostering collaboration between Primary and Secondary Care dental services. Throughout these developments, our utmost priority remains patient safety, care quality, and achieving positive clinical outcomes through inclusive service co-production involving all stakeholders.
