2016 Bursary Awards

The winners were announced during a prestigious ceremony sponsored by 3M Oral Care, on March 18, in The Library at the Royal College of Surgeons. The expert panel of judges included Christopher Orr, Professor Nairn H F Wilson, Professor Stephen Porter, Jane Gordon and David Worskett; Sara Hurley, chief dental officer, presented the awards.

“I thought the level of entries this year was excellent,” commented Professor Nairn H F Wilson. “The event inspires innovation and individual activity, which is just fantastic, and students should be encouraged to take advantage of such opportunities.”

When introducing the event, David Worskett said: “The ADG Bursary Awards provide support for dentistry education, help improve quality and professionalism and help to advance what is already a fine profession. Most of all, they encourage dentists to make the most of what will be a rewarding career.”
