At Guy's hospital he was appointed as a dental surgeon in 1887.[1][2] When the dentist he had been assisting became seriously ill, Newland-Pedley took up his responsibilities and also began the hospital's first dental department at his own expense.[1][2] In 1888 he proposed the idea of a dental school to the hospital's board; the school opened with twelve chairs the next year in 1889.[1][3][4]
From February to June 1900, Newland-Pedley volunteered in the British Army during the Boer War, becoming the army's first appointed field dentist.[5][6][7] He brought his own supplies and equipment, setting up in a tent to treat soldier's dental problems.[8][9] Returning from the war, he proposed to the British Army that a more permanent dental service be instituted.[10][11][12] This resulted in four dentists being sent on contract to the Boer war.[6][13]
During World War I, Newland-Pedley again served as a volunteer dental surgeon, this time at Rouen.[1]
Following the war, he practiced in London as a dentist, ultimately retiring to Italy.Шаблон:Citation needed
