🎙️ Step inside the Prepless studio…
Meet your hosts: Dr Chris Leech and Dr Jenni Rawes! 👋✨

Before they swap clinic lights for studio mics, here’s a quick intro to the duo who’ll be asking the questions:

✨ Dr Chris Leech is our President Elect, bringing top-tier clinical expertise to the chair. Chris was the first dentist in the UK to pass the MAGDS with the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh, where he now serves as an examiner and Fellow (FDS RCS Ed) - one of the highest accolades in the profession.

✨ Dr Jenni Rawes is the BACD's Chief Marketing Officer. A dedicated member and active committee leader, she’s passionate about empowering clinicians to practise with confidence, integrity, and embrace lifelong learning.

We’re keeping our guest list under wraps a little longer, but trust us: this season’s lineup is absolute 🔥.

What would you ask our guests? Let us know in the comments 👇
