David Craig MBE

Dr David Craig, Consultant, Honorary Senior Lecturer and Head of Sedation and Special Care Dentistry, has been made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to dental patients.

Dr Craig said: “I’m delighted to receive this award. It's lovely for our department too. Training students and providing care for our patients is what makes our jobs so worthwhile. My specialist interest is conscious sedation. We use this to relax patients who are anxious or undergoing potentially stressful dental treatment. 

"I feel so fortunate to have been at Guy's and to have had the opportunity to work alongside so many wonderful colleagues. Every day here has been a real pleasure.

“In the time I’ve been here the ethos of training students to the very highest standard and treating patients to the best of our ability hasn’t changed - but improvements in educational and clinical techniques have altered the way we now achieve these goals."
