2014 A Year to Savour Oliver's Dental Studio Sunderland Dentist

When you look back on a year and it feels as if it's over almost just as it is begins it usually means one thing ..

That was one busy year !

So many things happening as one week blends into another,spring into summer and before we know it we are wishing everyone Happy New Year again.
That pretty much sums up 2014,a year crammed with so many good things that I for one count my blessings and look back and think.... What a great ride that was !
We all know that life can't be an endless list of positives and 2014 was no exception,but we work hard to see past the setbacks that we all have to endure and enjoy the many positives the year has brought.

A big thank you from Studio owner Michael for the support of our patients and suppliers."We could not do it without you all".

So let's have a look at a year with so many positives for Oliver's Dental Studio

2014 has been a special year as we added to the Studio's many awards.Starting in January,two of our wonderful nursing team,Anthea and Cherelle picked up a well deserved award for their charity work.Our big hearted nurses had travelled to Morocco in 2013 as part of the outstanding Dental Mavericks charity,helping children with dental care in North Africa.The girls had raised hundreds of pounds towards the work of the Mavericks and their award recognised the efforts of these two wonderful givers.Well done girls.

We had some fun in February as we sponsored Valentines day with our excellent local radio station, 1034SunFM.Well known local celebrity Ricci from TVs Celebrity big Brother and MTV's Geordie Shore was a great sport as he surprised SunFM DJ Danielle with a blind date at D'Acqua restaurant in the city.

Spring arrived and our great team just got better as we welcomed the arrival of one of the leading young dentists in the country.Dr Peter McQuillan joined us and as many of you who have now met Peter will confirm,he has been a big success in 2014.A highly talented dentist,Peter is also a bonny lad as they say in Sunlan.This likeable young man has a big future at the Studio and we are fortunate to have him in our team.

Our award cabinet welcomed two new additions in the Spring.Our rising star,Anthea,proudly picked up nurse of the year award at the prestigious City Health Awards in Sunderland.To add to our celebration,Studio Principal Michael,was also delighted to receive the dentist of the year award for the city.Quite a night of partying at the Stadium of Light for the team.

A busy year just got busier in the spring as our big hearted nurses Claire and Anthea decided jumping from the Wear Bridge was a good idea.As they joined the zip wire challenge their brave gesture(some would say madness)raised a lot of money for their charities.

Principal Michael joined in the charity challenges in the early summer as he added to the nearly forty bikers cyling across Italy as they raised £50,000 for the excellent Sunderland Foundation.The near 300 mile trip took in some pretty tough mountainous terrain over four days and certainly exposed the old fellas less than Olympic fitness levels.

We,as a local business,try to put as much back into the community as possible.With this in mind we joined the excellent Sunderland Live team as a main partner and sponsor in 2014.Sunderland organised some fantastic outside events,all superbly put together by the Sunderland Live team.The wonderful Sunderland International Airshow was just such an event.With nearly a million visitors over the weekend this Airshow puts Sunderland on the European Airshow map with huge benefits to our great city.Well done Sunderland Live.It's also a good excuse for the boss to get his camera out !

Its been a busy year for community involvement as we try to spread the word on dental health to a city that sometimes lags behind in dental health.Our team visit local schools and hospitals to spread the word and are always well received.Certainly a nice side to our work.

We were delighted to announce a big appointment for the Studio in the autumn as lovely dental therapist Laura joined our growing ranks.The Studio runs very much as a team of wide ranging skills and Laura adds greatly to our facility with her advanced dental hygiene and restorative qualifications. Welcome aboard Laura.

Probably our favourite day of the year is the Studio day time Christmas Party.We try to invite as many of our wonderfully supportive patients as possible to share our day with Carol singing, Christmas drinks and cakes.Disney characters joined us this year along with excellent local singer Andy Barker.The highlight of the day being the wonderful St Ann's School Carol singers.This year was particularly special for us as we announced the winners of our trip to Disneyland Paris competition.The prize went to the most deserving entry which this year was two wonderful young men who raised substantial funds for charity.Well done Hayden and Loghan.

Just a sprinkling of the amazing things we got ourselves up to this year.Thank you to you all for your wonderful support in 2014 and have a prosperous and healthy New Year 2015.
