Spotlight Ferhan Ahmed
We put Ferhan Ahmed, sedationist and oral surgeon at Cadden Dental Clinic and Monklands Hospital in Airdrie, under the spotlight
Q. What do you love most about your job? The variety and the team of people I work with. My job covers so many different aspects of dentistry that I am always challenged and my days are never the same.
Q. If you weren’t a dentist, what would you be? Probably a pharmacist, boring I know but that is the other degree course I applied for when leaving university. Although, in a perfect world I would have quite liked to have been a pilot or a professional sportsman.
Q. Best piece of technology you own (dental or otherwise)?
Without a question my iPhone. It is essential for my day to day work and keeping in touch.
“I am always
challenged and my days are never the same “
Q. Best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? The importance of hard work and perseverance. If you work hard you can achieve whatever you want and don’t give up till you get there.
Q. On a day off, what would we fi nd you doing out of the surgery? I would be out cycling, running or at the gym.
Q. Who’s your hero (dentistry or otherwise)? Paul Farmer, an American anthro-
pologist and physician. His work to improve third world health is inspirational.
Q. If you could relocate your practice to any time or place, where would it be? Hong Kong. I spent a number of childhood summers there and it is such a wonderful place. Plus it has better weather than Glasgow!
Q. Favourite fi lm (doesn’t have to relate to dentistry..!) Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. I could watch them again and again.
Q. Favourite food? Homemade lasagne. I love pasta and meat and this is a great combination.
