All at 最准的六合彩论坛 Eastman were delighted to hear that Nigel Hunt, Professor of Orthodontics*, has been awarded an OBE in the 2017 Queen鈥檚 Official Birthday Honours.

Professor Hunt runs one of the largest and most successful postgraduate specialist orthodontic training programmes in Europe.

His translational research in dento-facial deformity is internationally renowned, and has resulted in significant improvements in patient management both in the UK and abroad.聽

His achievements in patient care, teaching and research were recognised internationally by the 2015 award of Honorary Membership of the World Federation of Orthodontists.

鈥淗e has positioned the Faculty of Dental Surgery as the 'go to' voice on specialist dentistry by Government ministers, the Department of Health, NHS England and Health Education England.
