Letters to the editor

I am delighted to welcome Dr Ewen McColl, Honorary Consultant/Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor at the Peninsula Dental School, University of Plymouth to the Editorial Board of Dental Update.

Ewen graduated from the University of Edinburgh Dental School 30 years ago, having first completed a BSc(Hons) at Glasgow University. He completed his Vocational Training in Aldershot and remained in the Defence Dental Service (DDS) for 18 years, while also undertaking specialist training in Periodontology at the Eastman Dental Institute, London, and Restorative Dentistry speciality training at Guy’s Hospital, before becoming Consultant in Restorative Dentistry for the DDS in 2009.

Ewen joined the Peninsula Dental School in 2012, becoming Director of Clinical Dentistry in 2014 and Deputy Head of School in 2017. Among other senior leadership positions held by Ewen, he is Chair Elect of the Association of Dental Hospitals UK and Ireland, and an Editor of FGDP (now CGDent) Standards in Dentistry.

I am delighted that Ewen has agreed to join us as I am certain that his clinical experience and knowledge, particularly in the field of restorative dentistry, let alone by his prolific writing on many areas of dentistry, will complement the knowledge, wisdom and expertise already present in the Editorial Board of Dental Update.
