The Gold Medal
The Gold medal is the highest accolade which the society can award. This award is presented only once every three years to an individual who has made 'exceptional contributions to the furtherance/development of Prosthodontics' in the following domains: clinical, research, education.
Nominations are receieved from the membership every three years and the Gold Medal is awarded following discussion by the BSSPD Council.
The Gold Medal is scheduled to be presented at the 2017 annual meeting. Nominations are sought for this most pretigious award and should be made in writing or by email to the Awards administrator
Gold Medal Recipients
Above: The 2014 BSSPD Gold medal was awarded to Professor Robert Clark (right). Professor Clark has excelled over his long career in all three major areas of our specialty, namely clinical excellence, an exceptional role in education, and excellence in research. His work and reputation has brought credibility both to the specialty of Prosthodontics in the UK and the BSSPD itself.
At the BSSPD both he and his students have won many prizes in past years including the Schottlander Oral and Poster Prize. As a stalwart of conference presentations we believe that he submitted his 65th abstract to the Society's Annual conference in 2013.
