“I feel privileged and humbled to be made Honorary Patron for 2026 and will aim to represent the Society with the respect and gravitas it deserves,” she said. “I would like to work with all my orthodontic colleagues and the entire team on delivering the best possible results for the most important people – our patients. As a specialty, it is vital that we support research and always follow evidence-based practice.
“I am looking forward to getting round to all the various BOS meetings and groups, and hearing from BOS members – I very much hope that I can add value and give back to the Society I care about so much.”
