Dr Giuseppe Di Filippo is a member of the British Endodontic Society (BES) Council. He discusses his career so far, and his passion for endodontics:

“I have been a Council Member of the BES since 2018, and I am a Specialist in Endodontics and a Clinical Lecturer for the post-graduate endodontic programme at Queen Mary, University of London.

“I am passionate about endodontics and thoroughly enjoy both patient care and training future endodontic practitioners. My areas of interest include epidemiology and microbiology of apical periodontitis. In 2014 I completed a study which suggested poor quality root canal treatment in a UK sub-population. In view of my research interests, I’ve always had a ‘mission’ to improve the outcome of endodontic treatment for the benefit of the general population.”

As part of his love for endodontics, Giuseppe is a part of the BES. He discusses his role and shares some of his favourite aspects of the society:

“I am currently the BES Representative at the European Society of Endodontology and I am proud to represent the UK endodontic profession internationally.

“The BES offers great benefits to its members. For example, the BES organises two annual meetings: the Spring Scientific Meeting, held in London every March, and a Regional Meeting, held in various cities across the UK every November. Both of these are well attended and attract speakers from across the globe.

“BES meetings offer ample opportunities to learn and perfect your clinical skills, and to meet colleagues at different stages of their careers. The atmosphere at BES meetings is very friendly, with a great social programme.”

But work isn’t everything! Giuseppe discusses his hobbies outside of endodontics:

“Besides my work and commitment to endodontics, in my spare time I particularly enjoy running. You are welcome to join me for a ‘traditional’ early morning run at the next BES Regional Meeting!”
