Biography: GDC number: 611772. He qualified from the University of Newcastle in 1986 where he commenced his career working in the Dental Hospital. Since then John moved back to Burnley where he established a successful group of practices with surgeries in Worsthorne, Colne and Halifax as well as working in the oral surgery department of Bury General Hospital. The partnership with his Nephew Simon Clavell-Bate is his most recent venture commencing in December 2007. John likes to keep variety between the practices. The Practice in Worsthorne is devoted to hygienist prevention care and the treatment of gum disease. The Practice at Colne is purely to provide private preventative care for children and is the only practice of its kind in the North of England. When working at Whalley he brings the best of all of this together. He is the club dentist of his beloved Burnley Football Club and likes anything fast with an engine in it. Despite being the one who introduced motorsport to his Nephew he has since completed various levels of light aircraft piloting and now enjoys flying to the distant corners of the United Kingdom.

Biography: GDC number: 85633. She qualified from Sheffield University in 2005 and worked in Nottinghamshire before moving over to Lancashire when marrying Simon. She enjoy all aspects of dentistry, especially treating children, which was the focus of charity work that I undertook as a student in the Cook Islands several years ago. Since qualifying I completed a one year post graduate course in advanced restorative dentistry learning advanced techniques in fields such as advanced crown and bridge work and cosmetic fillings. At the end of this course I was awarded a special commendation for the high level of skill and understanding demonstrated during the course. As Simon’s wife I work part time in the practice and outside of work our two young sons and black Labrador keep us busy. Since moving to Whalley I have completely fallen in love with its many charms, our eldest son is about to start at Whalley Primary School and both boys and I attend local baby/play groups. Where possible we all try to support local events. There is nowhere nicer to both live and work.
