MDDUS announces new Head of Dental
MDDUS, which represents 70,000 dentists and doctors across the UK, has appointed Helen Kaney to the role of Head of Dental Division. It comes as Rachael Bell retires after 16 years with the defence union.
Helen joined MDDUS in 2023 after spending 14 years working for another UK based indemnity provider, latterly as Head of Dental Services, Scotland. Dually qualified as a dentist and a solicitor, she has significant experience in advising dentists in the UK, Ireland and in several international jurisdictions.
Emma Parfitt, Deputy Chief Executive and General Counsel at MDDUS, said: “I am delighted to congratulate Helen on her appointment. Since joining MDDUS she has become a valued member of the team, and with her extensive knowledge and experience, I know the dental division is in safe hands.
“MDDUS is grateful to Rachael Bell for all of her hard work and dedication over the years and wish her a happy retirement.”
Helen Kaney, Head of Dental Division at MDDUS, said: “When I joined MDDUS I was impressed by the organisation, its leadership, and its commitment to members.
“Having worked in professional indemnity for many years, I can truly say MDDUS is a defence organisation I am proud to be part of. I look forward to continuing to lead the dental team in the service of our members.”
