In 2018 he co-founded the popular Scottish Dental Study Club with his wife Dr Saimah Ahmed.

The club has brought top names in dentistry from around the world and they have many more eminent speakers planned to visit Scotland in the coming year.  Tariq is also involved in postgraduate teaching through his own popular composite training courses. He is now working on further advanced restorative and cosmetic dental courses for 2023.  Tariq features regularly in the dental media and was invited by BBC Radio Scotland to host the first “Ask the Dentist” programme and has since featured regularly.
