For the first time, Philips has a dedicated Education Manager, Kimberley Lloyd-Rees, who is visiting dental schools in the UK to hear more about students' needs, and how Philips can support them better. As a result, a number of exciting plans are being developed to ensure the dental professionals of the future feel confident about all aspects of powered tooth brushing and interproximal cleaning, as well as tooth whitening.

In addition to sampling, Philips will be offering sponsorship for innovative student events and causes. Kimberley is also seeking student ambassadors, to collaborate with on creative social media content.

Kimberley brings a wealth of relevant experience to her role. She currently works in parallel as a dental therapist, and was previously a lecturer in dental hygiene at the University of Sheffield. She added: ‘I am dedicated to meeting you all, and plan to visit every dental school in the UK. I look forward to working with you and your student unions, to play a small role in your professional development.'
