Professor Ian Needleman becomes President of the British Society of Periodontology

As part of his priorities for the year Prof. Needleman will launch a Patient Forum to give patients a voice in shaping the future of periodontal health and a leadership development programme for the Society’s Early Career group.

He will also coordinate the BSP annual conference will take place 21-23 June at the beautiful venue of Kings Place, close to UCL Eastman. 

The theme is Performance! focusing on inspiring delegates to go beyond their limits.

The exciting line-up of speakers includes world-leading experts in digital medicine, behaviour change, surgery and implants as well as Baroness Tanni Grey-Thomson DBE Paralympian and Crossbench Peer and Dr Dan Martin OBE from the UCL Extreme Everest project.

We wish Ian the very best for his presidential year.
