Mr Paul J SharkeyPaul Sharkey, a Clinical University Teacher in Restorative Dentistry, has been voted by University of Glasgow dental students as their nominee for the 2009 DDU Dental Teacher of the Year Award. Dental students at each UK dental school are annually invited to nominate a teacher for this national award. From these nominations, the overall winner is selected at an event held in London following presentations by two shortlisted Finalists. This was the third consecutive year that a member of Restorative Dentistry was voted as Glasgow’s nominee.

On receiving the nomination, Paul was proud to say “I have always enjoyed teaching and attempt to do my best to pass on clinical skills in Restorative Dentistry to a new generation of dental professionals. I have always been enthusiastic about dentistry and hope that I manage to transmit something of this to our students. As a teacher, I am privileged to work with a group of young people keen to learn and that makes my job all the easier and more enjoyable. To our Glasgow dental students, I return my thanks.”
