Saif Mukadam
2nd year dental student at King’s College London,
Co-founder & CEO of UKDS
Saif is a second-year dental student at King’s College London with an unconventional path into dentistry. He spent years playing football at a high level, starting in Walsall FC’s academy at 11 before becoming a full-time apprentice with the club from 16 to 18. Now, he’s transitioned from the pitch to the clinic, studying at one of the world’s top dental schools. Beyond his studies, Saif has co-founded the UK Dental Student community with his partner, Lwai. The group has already brought together over 1,700 students where they’re working to organise events and hands-on workshops across the country, helping students connect and develop their clinical skills. His impact in the dental world has already gained recognition having featured on the Dental Leaders Podcast and has partnered with FMC to introduce the Nxt-Gen summit, an event designed to support and inspire the next generation of dental professionals.
