TRIBUTE

IN APPRECIATION Dr Nick Boyd

Dr Nick Boyd was not a fan of obituaries or fuss, so instead we offer a short tribute in appreciation. Oral Pathologist, Dr Nick Boyd, served as the President of The Australian Dental Association of Western Australia from October 2000 to October 2002. In his first President’s Report, Nick said he was taking up the position with a fair degree trepidation because he was following in the footsteps of a series of extremely capable Presidents, who had done a marvellous job of steering the Association trough some tricky times. Nick needn’t have been concerned. He brought a passion to the role that did not go unnoticed. Through his great love of learning, Nick was vocal about the importance of continuing education and the importance of supporting dental schools to give the best start to the students – the dentists of tomorrow. With a quick wit, great sense of humour, and always with a smile on his face, he was popular with ADAWA staff, and left big shoes to fill by subsequent Presidents. He was a much-loved teacher and lecturer, so it is fitting he served as the Dean of the Dental School, the Head of School, and the Interim Head of School at UWA over different periods. His dedication (perhaps stemmed from his time in military service) was always noted in any role he took on. Our thoughts go to his loving wife, Anna, his family, and his dear friend, Dr Gareth Davies. Thank you, Dr Boyd.
