Barts Health dental consultant recognised in 2026 New Year Honours
Professor Christopher Tredwin, an Honorary Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at Barts Health NHS Trust, has been recognised for his extraordinary services in The King’s New Year Honours 2026.
Chris, a consultant based at our dental hospital, has been awarded an MBE for his outstanding services to general dental practice.
He is also Professor of Restorative Dentistry, Dean for Dentistry and Director of the Institute of Dentistry at Queen Mary University of London.
Throughout his career, Chris has maintained a passion for, and commitment to, general and specialist dental practice.
Among his many achievements, he has been instrumental in establishing two dental training clinics in East London, offering high-quality dental care in areas where patients need it the most.
The need for, and success of, these clinics was recognised earlier this year when the Prime Minister, Secretary of State and Health Secretary visited one to launch the new NHS 10 Year Health Plan.
On receiving the award, Chris said:
“I am deeply honoured to receive this MBE. It is a recognition I share with everyone who has supported and walked with me on my journey in Dentistry.”
Neil Ashman, Chief Executive of The Royal London Hospital said:
“I am delighted to congratulate Chris on this richly deserved honour. His dedication to improving access to dental care, particularly for communities in North East London, has had a lasting impact on patients, students and the profession as a whole. We are incredibly proud to see his work recognised in the King’s New Year Honours.”
