The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) has announced the appointment of Professor Grant McIntyre as the Dean-Elect of its Faculty of Dental Surgery.

Professor McIntyre has served as Vice Dean since September 2022 alongside Professor Phil Taylor, who currently holds the position of Dean of the Faculty.

As Dean, Professor McIntyre will be responsible for overseeing the dental education, examination and internationalisation portfolios offered by RCSEd, as well as ensuring the College remains at the forefront of dentistry in the UK and globally.

Professor McIntyre has been a consultant in orthodontics for the past 20 years, with a particular focus on cleft lip and palate care and facial deformity in that time.

Professor Phil Taylor said: 'I am delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Grant McIntyre as Dean-Elect of the Faculty of Dental Surgery. Carrying out this role has been an incredible privilege for me, and I am pleased to hand over the reins to someone with not only an abundance of ability but plenty of passion too.'
