EDINBURGH, UK: Since its first publication in 1997, Paediatric Dentistry by Prof. Richard Welbury has become the standard textbook for all dentists working with children in the UK and Ireland. For this and other contributions to the field, the former paediatric dentistry professor from Glasgow received the first ever Scottish Health Award in the category "dentist" last week.
Welbury beat fellow nominees Drew Gibson of Bearsden Dental Care and Roger Levie from Hamilton in Lanarkshire in the new category, which was announced this year.
“I didn’t even know I had been nominated until I got the call saying I was a finalist,” he told the Daily Record newspaper.
Organised annually in partnership with NHS Scotland and the Scottish government, the Scottish Health Awards have been held since 2010. They recognise individuals in categories such as “innovation” and “healthier lifestyle”. Sixteen professionals were acknowledged with this year’s awards, which were celebrated at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh on 4 November.
In addition to his achievements as an author, Welbury was recognised for his work on guidelines on protection of children against abuse.
He recently retired from his position of Professor of Paediatric Dentistry at Glasgow Dental Hospital that he held since 2001. Prior to that, he worked as a regional consultant and senior clinical lecturer at Newcastle University, his alma mater.
Welbury has served as president of both the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry.
In July, he chaired the 25th Congress of the International Association of Paediatric Dentistry, which was held in Glasgow.
