After two further years as a member of clinical staff at Newcastle Dental Hospital, he was elected as a Fellow of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons and awarded the College certificate for best performance by examination in 1995. Subsequently, he was appointed Registrar in Orthodontics at Bristol Dental School in 1996 and completed his specialist orthodontic training by examination in 1999, gaining his Membership in Orthodontics (M.Orth) from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. A further Master of Science degree was completed in 2000 at the University of Bristol.

Joseph has worked in Jersey for the last 15 years and leads one of only two orthodontic specialist-led teams working in practice on the island. He also currently works with secondary care colleagues to reduce the island’s hospital orthodontic waiting list.  His clinical interests are in children’s orthodontics and complex adult cases using fixed appliances and aligners, and he has a keen interest in the use of technology to optimise treatment efficiency and outcomes.

Joseph has also held administration posts in healthcare. From 2016-2021, he was the Orthodontic Chair for the South West of England clinical network, which liaised and advised NHS England on orthodontic services.
