Dr Philip Mitchell is the current Vice President Elect of the British Endodontic Society (BES), and will become President Elect of the Society after the Spring Scientific Meeting next year. He shares a little bit about himself and his experience with the BES:
“I am currently the Vice President Elect of the BES, with my presidency due to take office in 2026. Previously I have acted as a council member, beginning around 15 years ago, and I was part of a specialist advisory board at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
“Endodontics first appealed to me as one needs to specialise in order to improve and achieve excellence. I was attracted to the biological side of things, as this is a discipline in which we treat diseases.
“I think it is obligatory for someone who is a specialist in endodontics to become a member of the BES, in order to support and promote the specialism both within general dentistry and within the population as well.
“My favourite benefit offered by BES membership is the social aspect of the annual meetings. It is great to meet up with old friends a couple of times a year to chat and catch up.
“Outside of work, I very much enjoy riding my bikes and swimming.”
