Luke Barnett Honoured: He Receives Fellowship of the DLA Leave a comment

Leading dental technician Luke Barnett was awarded Fellowship of the DLA on behalf of the DLA Executive Board. He received his award from Steve Campbell, DLA President during the recent British Dental Conference and DTS/Dentistry Show.

The DLA commented: “Luke has been an outstanding contributor to the dental technology profession, working tirelessly to promote British dental technology, pushing for greater integration of dental technicians into the dental team, and continuously promoting high professional standards to his peers.

“Luke has worked on many educational initiatives and has been a keen supporter of DLA projects, often working behind the scenes to help us achieve our goals. Congratulations to Luke on receiving this prestigious title!”

Luke added: “I am so happy to receive this award. I am accepting this reward on behalf of my team, without whom I could not do the work I love. We only want to do the best work we possibly can – to be recognised by our peers is really humbling.”

Luke Barnett started his career in technical dentistry in 1976 and after qualifying took a special interest in dental ceramics, setting up his own business in 1985. Luke and his team have established themselves as one of the UK’s most influential ceramic specialists working from his award winning, state-of-the-art facility in Watford, Herts.

Luke is on the editorial board of many top titles and is also a member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD). He was the first technician to achieve the levels of excellence required to obtain BACD Accreditation and sits on the accreditation board of examiners. He is also a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

I would like to add my congratulations to Luke for his well earned, award.  He has spent many years working to raise standards by his own example and has passed this sense of aiming as high as possible to those around him.

Very Best Congratulations,

Larry Browne. Editor
