philip lewisPhilip Lewis has taken over as elected president of the Mouth Cancer Foundation from Krishan Joshi, who will remain as treasurer.

Known for his relentless campaigning for proper mouth cancer examination of patients, Philip Lewis runs a dental practice in Freshwater, Isle of Wight.

For more than 20 years Dr Lewis has been closely involved in the early detection of mouth cancer. He regularly lectures on the topic, including at FMC’s recent Online CPD Dentistry Show.

‘It is an honour to take on this role as president for the next two years,’ Philip Lewis says.

‘I believe in growing the core values instilled by first Vinod Joshi, then Krishan Joshi from the very beginning. The Mouth Cancer Foundation is a pioneering organisation helping people through their mouth, head and neck cancer journey – “at point of need”.

‘We have put in place a fantastic, hands-on team of trustees and ambassadors to support my vision and goals. Together, I am looking forward to this next chapter in growing the charity’s value and impact!’
