Dental Protection appoints 17 new dentolegal advisers

05 December 2014
Dental Protection has appointed 17 additional part-time dentolegal advisers in response to the increased demand for our services. This will bring the total of full-time and part-time advisers to 68 as we head into the New Year. The new advisers met together for the first time at the end of November for a two-day training session in central London.

Kevin Lewis, Dental Director, said:

This is an exciting time for Dental Protection as we expand and develop to meet the needs of our members and provide them with high quality support and advice. Many of our part-time dentolegal advisers continue to work in the dental profession and six of the latest intake are also registered specialists. Most importantly, they all understand the different day to day challenges and pressures that face dentists in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

They will be joining the existing team of 51 dentolegal advisers who are all experienced dentists with legal expertise, providing expert guidance and support to members. Dental Protection provides support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we look forward in continuing to provide expert guidance to 64,000 members in the United Kingdom and around the world.
