Dentist and past president of the Mouth Cancer Foundation, Philip Lewis, has been awarded an MBE in the King’s Birthday’s Honours List in recognition of services to oral cancer.

Philip Lewis said, “This award is in recognition of over 30 years of campaigning to raise awareness of all head and neck cancers and encourage the dental profession to carry out thorough oral cancer checks on all patients at annual routine appointments. As a trustee and past president of the Mouth Cancer Foundation I have also been involved in devising a self-check which the general public can carry out on themselves.”

Through his work as a dentist and involvement with the Mouth Cancer Foundation since its inception, Philip has been dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and promoting the early detection of mouth cancer and supporting those affected by it.
