Kevin Lewis, Director of Dental Protection, has been awarded a Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

The award recognises the contribution that Dr Lewis has made to dentistry both in the UK and around the world. Before joining Dental Protection, he had established a successful preventive practice in Peterborough while at the same time developing his writing and lecturing skills.

Commenting on the award, Dr Lewis said, 'I am extremely fortunate to have had so many opportunities to serve my profession in such interesting ways throughout my professional career – none of which I could have foreseen at the time I graduated. Hopefully this award will encourage others to seize whatever opportunities come their way, and to make the best of them.'
