Dr Sandy Limerick is a member of the teaching faculty at ASHA Club, for the Advanced Horizontal & Vertical Augmentation course with Dr Selvaraj Balaji. She shares what she feels makes ASHA Club and its courses unique:

“I first got involved with ASHA Club when I’d been placing implants for quite a few years, but I was at stage in 2020 where I felt that my soft tissue and hard tissue grafting skills required refinement. At this time, I was increasingly seeing patients who needed more than a straightforward implant placement, and I wanted to learn techniques which would give my implant work the greatest chance of success in the long-term. I was looking at options for courses I might attend, when I came across Balaji at an ADI conference, and I knew immediately the ASHA course was the one for me. I enrolled on the first cohort and I feel the techniques I learned have enhanced my skill set, and the outcomes I achieve for my patients, immeasurably.

“The level of support provided after the course makes the ASHA course really stand out – many courses don’t offer that. Teaching the theory is great, but when clinicians go back to their practices and need extra support to tackle specific cases, ASHA Club supports them. This is a real strength of the ASHA course.

“It’s also an open course in terms of delegates’ opportunities to ask questions throughout teaching. Delegates are given the opportunity to present their own cases as we move through the modules, enabling them to reflect, share, and gain second opinions from their peers. ASHA is among the very few implant courses in the UK offering advanced bone and soft tissue techniques – many of the courses, at which Balaji himself trained, are hosted in Europe and require more extensive travelling for clinicians.

“If someone is considering enrolling on an ASHA Club course, they’re at a point in their career where they are moving on from simple to more complex cases requiring an advanced skill set. They should have absolutely no hesitation in booking onto the ASHA courses, they are without doubt some of the best courses in the UK for obtaining and developing the skills required to tackle more complex implant cases in terms of bone and soft tissue support. Based on personal experience, it will transform their practice and give them the confidence to be able to tackle cases they couldn’t before, and provide care for patients they would have previously referred or advised that implant treatment was not suitable.

“The course also attracts speakers such as Professor Giovanni Zucchelli, who are internationally-renowned in their field, and who delegates wouldn’t easily have the opportunity to learn from if ASHA didn’t facilitate bringing names like his to the UK.”
