Leadership in motion ' what it takes to reach the top and push boundaries from trailblazing women in dentistry

14 Mar 2026
BDIA Main Stage, in partnership with Dental Update

Four incredible female professionals blazing their own trails through dentistry will come together for this one-of-a-kind panel discussion. Dr Sara Hurley, Dr Fiona Sandom, Linda Greenwall and Roz McMullan will offer a rich combination of career reflections, industry challenges, and hope for the next generation of clinicians and dental leaders. Their unique insights and perspectives will provide invaluable insights into what has come before and what is yet to pass, with fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of how females roles have evolved and the barriers that still need breaking down. With all panellists recognised in the King’s Birthday Honours List 2025, this will be a celebration of their achievements and an opportunity to drive further progress across the profession.
