The founder of the Mouth Cancer Foundation, Vinod Joshi, has been awarded an honorary Office of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, (OBE), by her Majesty, the Queen, in recognition of services to fighting cancer.

It is 20 years ago this month that Vinod began his journey to save and improve lives by creating the charity’s first website, two and a half years before turning the ‘ahead of its time’, successful web portal, into a registered charity.

Dedicated to raising awareness, educating and promoting the early detection of mouth cancer as well as supporting those affected by it, Vinod set up the Restorative Dentistry Oncology Clinics’ Mouth Cancer Awareness website to complement the work he was doing at the clinics he ran at St Luke’s Hospital, Bradford and Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield.
