In the citation given by Professor Derrick Willmot, the Dean of FDS, it was noted that Jerry has risen rapidly through the ranks at the DH, taking responsibility for many aspects of dental and oral health including the development of mandatory continuing professional development for dentists and dental care professionals. He was appointed Senior Principal Civil Servant in 1999 and is currently leading on oral health promotion and dental education. Professor Willmot added that “one of Jerry’s most notable achievements was his tireless and successful work over many years to promote water fluoridation in the UK.”
Russ Ladwa, Dean of the FGDP(UK), said, “Jerry Read has played a key role in improving the oral health of the nation during his career at the DH. His help and advice to dental professionals and DH officials over the years has been invaluable and highly regarded.”
