Two new members

Professor Gibson is qualified in both dentistry and medicine and is Professor of Medicine in Relation to Dentistry and honorary consultant in oral medicine in Glasgow. He succeeds Professor Trevor Burke who retired from the Board in October having completed his term of office on the Board.

He is joined on the Board by Professor Callum Youngson who is Professor and honorary consultant in restorative dentistry at the University of Liverpool, and dean of Liverpool Dental School.

The two new appointments were announced at the Premier Symposium on November 29 in London when Professor Gibson Professor Youngson lectured to a capacity audience at the Shaw Theatre in London.

Kevin Lewis (dental director) said

“We are extremely lucky to have two new Board members of such standing within the dental profession both in the UK and wider afield. They join us at a time when the dental profession is experiencing a previously unseen level of regulatory challenges, but I have no doubt that their input will ensure that Dental Protection continues to provide the profession with the high standard of service and insightful leadership for which it has become known”.
