The National Oral Health Promotion Group (NOHPG) has appointed a new Patron. The Group's members invited Catherine Stillman-Lowe, independent oral health promotion advisor, to take up the honorary position for the next three years.

Known to many as co-author of The scientific basis of oral health education, published by BDJ Books, Cathy said, ‘It is a great honour to be asked to support the NOHPG by taking on this role. The Group provides a valuable service to its members by promoting evidence-based oral health promotion, and advocating policies that will result in sustainable improvements in oral health. By sharing good practice between oral health promoters across the UK, the Group helps to reduce professional isolation and raise standards at the grass-roots level’.
