Oliver's Dental Studio Awards Success in the City of Sunderland

Winning an award in recognition of our efforts is rather nice, particularly when the ceremony is in our home town City of Sunderland.

Winning an award amongst so many outstanding health professionals in the Sunderland Health Awards 2014 comes as a particular honour for the Studio.And so it was on Thursday evening, April 3rd, as the team at Oliver's were very fortunate to be nominated for three of these prestigious city awards.

• Community Award
• Dental nurse of the Year - Anthea Griffiths
• Dentist of the Year          - Michael Oliver

To actually win two of these awards was humbling and I found it particularly rewarding that my excellent young dental nurse, Anthea, actually won the top dental nursing award.  

Anthea has been with us for about a year now and has blossomed into an outstanding member of the team. As well as a talented nurse in the surgery environment,the judges I suspect will have been very impressed with her charity work in Africa. Anthea is part of the excellent Dental Mavericks Charity having travelled to an isolated Moroccan village last September to help with treatment of the local children. A lady with a big heart, Anthea is again travelling to Africa this year with myself Michael Oliver and fellow dental nurse Cherelle. 

Here , Anthea celebrates her great achievement with fiancé Michael. A proud moment for them both, it was nice that Michael could be with us to witness Anthea's big moment. 

On a personal level it was a huge honour to be selected as the Dentist of the Year for the City of Sunderland. As a proud mackem, such an award was a wonderful moment for me in my home City.It was particularly special for me as it was the staff of the Studio who had put my name forward for consideration,a lovely surprise for this Sunderland dentist.

I felt great pride in what we are trying to do at the Studio as our team where shortlisted in the Community Award. We work very hard to give back in our local community and it is very rewarding that the judging panel were so impressed with our efforts. 

Studio manager Joanne was delighted to be asked to present the award to the Doctor of the Year on this night of glitz and glamour for the city. The spirit of health care in Sunderland was on show,the City certainly seems to be in good hands in the health department with a wonderful room full of caring professionals at the Stadium of Light. 

Sunderland legend Jimmy Montgomery called by to see us and congratulate Anthea on her wonderful achievement.

Of course we joined the after awards party to celebrate. It doesn't take much persuasion to get our dance troup on the floor. Here Louise and Sarah strut there stuff with a bit of Madonna imitation.
