Former Chief Dental Officer Professor Raman Bedi has been appointed to the advisory board of Howden Dental, a division of Howden Medical Insurance Services.

Professor Bedi's appointment is the latest in a series of high profile appointments at Howden Dental, most recently that of dentist and MP Sir Paul Beresford, who joined the board on 1 January. The appointments are part of Howden's drive to recruit distinguished members of the dental profession to ensure it continues to tailor its professional liability insurance to meet the current and increasing liabilities facing dentists.

As a board member, Professor Bedi will take a lead in Howden's international initiatives.
