Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences 2025 Staff Awards

Colleagues from FoDOCS came together at the start of April to celebrate the remarkable, diverse and hugely impactful contributions that individuals and teams have made over the last year.

Dental Awards 2025-103

The Staff Awards were launched in 2024 and continue to be a highlight of the calendar year at the faculty. An important initiative that recognises the contributions those in our community are making.

Said Professor Michael Escudier, Executive Dean of FoDOCS: “It was wonderful to come together and recognise the amazing contributions of so many of our staff, and to appreciate what an enormous difference it makes to our community.”
