END OF AN ERA

John Milne Senior National Dental Advisor for Care Quality Commission (CQC) retired from his post on the 31st March 2023, it is simply the end of an era. SBDN are delighted to inform you that John will not be disappearing, but will be the next President of the British Dental Association (BDA). He is currently the BDA President Elect.

Many of you will know of John as his role at the CQC and perhaps more recently of the ‘Smiling Matters’ work, looking at the provision of oral care across care homes in England. This is a key area of interest for the Oral Health Hub and both iterations of the report have been central to the special interest group on publication.
