#48 - Evergreen - In Conversation with Hassan Asad and Sorabh Patel

While Prav washes his hair this week, Payman plays host to ambitious young dentists Hassan Asad and Sorabh Patel.   The pair may be relative newcomers to the profession, but they’re already making big waves.   In April, disheartened by the lack of support for new and younger dentists, Hassan and Sorabh set up the Deciduous Facebook group, which quickly grew to a membership of thousands.   Here Hassan and Sorabh talk about the group. They also relate some of the challenges faced by graduates and reluctantly let slip some of their big plans for the future.   Enjoy!     “We want our members to feel safe. To feel like they can post cases and ask and get advice, and ultimately not feel like a shark pit is out there to bite them.” Hassan Assad In This Episode 00.54 - Deciduous group 08.26 - Thoughts on careers 12.23 - Soft skills and support 21.44 - Leaving Iraq 24.34 - Gold standards and tales of the GDC 30.52 - The Deciduous team 39.31 - Life in practice 43.26 - Coping through COVID 49.46 - Ambition About Hassan and Sorabh Sorabh graduated from King’s College London and completed foundation training in Portsmouth.
