Honour for former Edinburgh dean Philip
BDA Benevolent Fund recognises the hard work and dedication of Professor Sutcliffe by electing him into vice president role
APPOINTMENT
Former Edinburgh Dental School dean Professor Philip Sutcliffe was elected into the role of vice president at the BDA Benevolent Fund’s annual general meeting. Prof Sutcliffe has dedicated
his retirement time to the ‘Ben Fund’ and was awarded the honour in recognition of his exceptional services to the organisation. The AGM was chaired by
BDA president and patron of the fund Dr Alasdair Miller and saw the officers of the fund elected. Dr Ann Rockey was named chairman, Dr William Nichols became vice-chairman, Professor Ros Keeton honorary treas- urer and Dr Diane Waller as honorary secretary. Prof Sutcliffe studied at
Leeds University in the early 1950s and pursued a career in paediatric dentistry after graduation. He worked as a registrar at Eastman Dental Hospital and also at North- western University in Chicago for a year in the early 60s. He was later appointed professor at the Edinburgh University Dental School and served as dean before being named emeritus professor of preven- tive dentistry at the Edinburgh Postgraduate Dental Institute. On his retirement, Prof Sutcliffe devoted his time to

the BDA’s Benevolent Fund. He explained that, before his time, the fund was mainly used for making provision for dentists’ families after a death. However, these days the fund is much more likely to be helping out dentists of working age with a range of issues from money problems, physical or mental ill-health, accidents, marital breakdown to drug and alcohol addictions and restrictions imposed by the GDC. Last year, the fund gave out
£209,144 to dentists and their families in need but, like any charitable organisation, it is always in need of further donations. To find out more and to donate, visit www.
