Two dentists in Scotland have been honoured by the BDA for their exceptional work in governing dentistry and working to improve the working lives of dentists.
Adrian Hart has been awarded Distinguished Membership of the BDA for his outstanding work in helping to govern the BDA and his personal commitment to the profession, while former BDA Scotland Director Andrew Lamb has been awarded Fellowship of the BDA for his outstanding and distinguished service to the profession and to celebrate his illustrious career in dentistry.
Adrian qualified in 1981 in London and moved to Scotland in 1996 as consultant orthodontist at the NHS Highland Health Board. His long service to the BDA includes his roles as chair on the BDA Scottish Country Council, chair on the Scottish Committee for Hospital Dental Services, and a member of Central Committee for Hospital Dental Services. He has also been a BDA representative on the British Medical Association’s Scottish Consultants’ Committee.
