Derek Richards has announced his retirement as Editor of Evidence-Based Dentistry, (EBD), after 20 years at the helm of the journal.

After qualifying from Cardiff Dental School in 1977 Derek worked in hospital, general and community dental practice. While undertaking dental public health training in the Anglia and Oxford Region he developed an interest in evidence-based health care and, in 1995, helped to establish the Centre for Evidence-based Dentistry. He has been involved with teaching evidence-based dentistry and a wide range of evidence-based initiatives both nationally and internationally since then. In 1998 he was instrumental in founding EBD, which he has edited since then, overseeing the production of 19 volumes and over 70 issues of the journal.
