Speaking & Broadcast
Fifteen years of operator experience, in the room.
Keynotes, panels and broadcast on UK dental market structure, consolidation, technology and capital.
The most valuable voices in any room are those who have operated inside the system they're describing. Andy Sloan speaks from fifteen years of direct experience across practice acquisition, PE-backed growth, dental technology, and the regulatory frameworks shaping UK dentistry's next chapter.
He has spoken at national dental conferences, private equity investor forums, healthcare leadership summits and corporate leadership events, bringing commercial rigour and sector depth to audiences that expect more than surface-level commentary.
