After 33 years of NHS Dentistry, Paul Drugan has put down his dental tools and retired from Yate Dental Surgery on the 28th January 2023.

After graduation from Cardiff University in 1987, he qualified in post graduate courses LLM in 1996 and Diploma in Postgraduate Dental Studies in 1997.

Paul joined the practice in 1990 and later became the Practice Principal in 1996 and has run a successful NHS Dental Practice within the heart of Yate Shopping Centre, until May 2022 when Matthew Thomas became the new Practice Principal.

All past and present colleagues and friends would like to wish him a happy and healthy retirement after such a long career in dentistry. He will be greatly missed by all.

Una Miles BDS Cardiff, has joined us from a dental practice in Thornbury, and will provide professional dental care to all of Pauls registered patients.

Matthew Thomas will continue to provide NHS dentistry in the same professional and friendly atmosphere along with the Yate Dental Surgery Team.
