Scottish Dental Show 2012
Prof Saunders with Chick Young and Bruce Oxley
A worthy winner T
he first ever Scottish Dental Lifetime Achieve- ment Award was the centrepiece
of the evening drinks reception held on the Thursday evening in the Baird Suite. Alan Ramsay again welcomed delegates, speakers and exhibitors to the event before introducing Scottish Dental magazine’s editor Bruce Oxley.
