Luke Cascarini qualified in dentistry and medicine, and then
trained in oral and maxillofacial surgery with a focus on head and
neck cancer and reconstruction. He was appointed as consultant
surgeon at North West London hospitals in 2010 and subsequently
joined the head and neck team at Guy's Hospital in 2014. He has
published over 40 papers in scientific journals, written several
chapters for textbooks, and co-authored and edited multiple
surgical textbooks. Clare
Schilling studied medicine in London and discovered OMFS as a
speciality during her pre-registration year. Fascinated by what she
saw the maxillofacial team doing, she secured her first SHO job
in
maxillofacial surgery. After finishing her basic surgical training,
she decided to take the plunge and went to study dentistry as a
mature student and was delighted to find several like-minded medics
along the way. Since qualifying in dentistry she has entered a
Specialist Training program for OMFS and can honestly say that she
hasn't looked back once. Ben Gurney trained at Edinburgh Medical
School before completing his basic surgical training in the North
East of England. It was during his
second year of the BST that he was exposed to Oral and
Maxillofacial Surgery whilst working in an intensive care unit,
looking after head and neck cancer cases that had undergone major
surgery. Ben was
appointed as an OMFS SHO at Sunderland Royal Hospital where he had
a wonderful year of training and a thorough introduction to OMFS.
Having been inspired to pursue a career in OMFS, Ben completed a
second undergraduate degree in dentistry at Kings College London,
and he is now a specialty OMFS trainee with the London Deanery.

Review from previous edition This handbook was an absolute
lifesaver. As a maxillofacial senior house officer - you are
completely out of your depth and this is perfect to carry around
with you! It has a clear and concise structure and you are able to
find what you are looking for even if you are rushed of your feet.
There a is a logical approach to anything that you will come across
in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - from working in Accident &
Emergency and dealing with the different injuries, to the ward and
clerking the patients. It will serve as your best friend and will
allow you to get the best clinical experience that you can from
your time in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. There is no other book
that will serve this purpose!

As one of the dominant specialties in the face, head and neck there
is virtually no exposure to oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS)
in the undergraduate medical curriculum. The Oxford Handbook of
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fills this gap perfectly and
distills the essentials of what is required of a junior doctor in
OMFS.
*Amazon*
For specialty trainees within OMFS the book would be an excellent
companion
