Three years ago, in the summer, I had the opportunity to properly meet Ronnie Young face to face at The Campbell Academy and to start our journey together of providing education at Ronnie's level in Nottingham.
That story went back a long way, actually, to pre-COVID, when I first had the chance to meet Ronnie, and then when he messaged me back after the clinic had opened to congratulate me. I knew he was a brilliant guy, and he came and he inspired people so massively that he's now become a fixture every year for the past 4 years and again next year and the year after and the year after, inspiring people, helping to make them better, being the brilliant educator, researcher and clinician that he is.
This January, we're going to do another thing with another individual of a similar quality; Oscar Gonzalez will come from Madrid. Oscar is a genius. He is an extraordinary clinician, what the Americans and the Europeans who are high in implant dentistry call a ‘PERIO-PROS’. He's trained to the highest level in periodontology, trained to the highest level of prosthodontics, a brilliant surgeon, a brilliant restorative dentist, and an extremely sought-after speaker.
Oscar will actually be the most expensive speaker that we've ever booked, but we know he's worth it because we've seen what he does, and he thinks about dentistry on a different level. Not only that, though, he has the ability, like Ronnie Young, to make difficult concepts much more straightforward and simple for normal people like us. In short, he takes all his expertise and distils it down and tells you over two days how to make your own work much, much better.
Last year I went to the Esthetic Day conference in Mallorca, and one of the reasons was to see Oscar speak, also, the guys from our team have been to see him in Madrid to see him speak, and so we've done our due diligence, got our insights and know that what we think we have here is someone for the long term, who can help to build the reputation and the quality and the experience of what it's like at The Campbell Academy.
We have a few places left on that course, and the details are all here. It's in January, straight after Christmas, just as you're getting your CPD sorted out for next year, it's in the dark nights when you're grinding it through. It'll be a brilliant course, a brilliant meal, an amazing group of people together.
I hope you'll think about joining us and, like us, meeting Oscar and welcoming him to Nottingham.
