In addition to her role as an educator and researcher within the School of Dentistry , Sondos works clinically as an honorary consultant in Paediatric Dentistry in both Liverpool Dental Hospital and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.
The BSPD is a prestigious national organisation of 600 members, dedicated to raising standards in children’s oral health. As President, Professor Albadri will oversee the work of the society, chairing both its council and the executive committee.
Professor Albadri will commence her role from the date of the next general meeting between the 4th and 7th October 2021.
