Sara will bring her professional knowledge and understanding of NHS dental care systems to her new roles, maintaining momentum in the transformation of NHS dental services at local level.
Sara was appointed chief dental officer for England in 2015. Previously, Sara served as a clinician and, latterly as chief dental officer for the Army.
Since her appointment, Sara has championed innovation and delivered on her pledge to ‘put the mouth back in the body’.
This has included programmes such as Starting Well, a ministerial-supported initiative which increased dental access for children in the most deprived communities with in-practice preventative treatments.
From this initial programme and the broadening of access to ‘Dental Check By 1’, children’s oral health is now an established priority for the NHS Core20Plus5 strategy for children and young people.
