Graham was born on Good Friday, 1955. He qualified at Glasgow Dental School in 1978, then joined the SHO/Registrar rotation in Glasgow and passed the FDSRCPS in 1982. He became a lecturer in prosthodontics shortly afterwards and in 1988 was appointed consultant in restorative dentistry at Mayday Hospital, Croydon. A member of the appointments committee later told me that Graham was the most outstanding applicant for the post among the candidates.
Graham quickly developed the service in Croydon and established outreach clinics around the southeast of England, including Bournemouth, Portsmouth and Southampton, which soon attracted the attention of the dental teaching hospitals in London who wanted to get their higher trainees in restorative dentistry and orthodontics into attachments at Graham’s unit in Croydon. Most of these trainees were later appointed consultants and professors up and down the UK.
Graham was particularly skilled as a diagnostic clinician, a first class teacher, an educator, who was invited to lecture locally, nationally and internationally, where his clinical skills and natural humour endeared him to every audience. He had a very sharp political touch. He understood how NHS committees worked and developed the philosophy that one should be either a committee member or chairman, but never the treasurer or secretary! He was appointed Associate Postgraduate Dental Dean for the KSS Region in 2003, and was asked to organise the training of clinical dental technicians which attracted applicants from all around the UK, every one of whom successfully completed the course and held Graham in the highest esteem.
One of his most endearing attributes was his unique sense of humour and fun, for which his trainees will testify. He organised educational programmes with the Cunard shipping line, crossing the Atlantic to New York on the QE2 twice, and cruising with Cunard in the Caribbean in 1994 which proved to be very popular. He had a particularly mischievous sense of humour; in 1982 Pope John Paul II came to Glasgow to say mass. On the same day, in Glasgow Dental Hospital, the oral surgery registrar received a phone call from a Cardinal, who was the Pope’s personal secretary, reporting that the Holy Father had toothache and wanted to see the Professor of Oral Surgery, at 4 pm that day! It was of course, a joke, played by ‘Cardinal’ Graham Gilmour!
Graham was hugely loved by his colleagues at Mayday Hospital in Croydon, and will be sadly missed by all of those who worked with him, his brother Rowland, but most of all by his wife Virginia, and his daughters Ginny and Ally.<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010313<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>Publication Date 1982<br/>First Title value, for Searching Pickard, Huia Masters (1909 - 2002)ent://SD_ASSET/0/SD_ASSET:3870922024-05-22T04:52:15Z2024-05-22T04:52:15Zby Sarah Gillam<br/>Publication Date 2023-08-10<br/>Asset Path Root/Lives of the Fellows/E010000-E010999/E010400-E010499<br/>Occupation Dental surgeon Specialist in restorative dentistry<br/>Details Huia Masters Pickard, known as ‘Pick’, was a pioneering professor of restorative dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital in London. He was born on 25 March 1909 in Masterton, New Zealand, the son of Ernest Pickard and Sophie Elizabeth Pickard née Robins, but at an early age went with his family to England. He was educated at Latymer School in Edmonton, and in 1927 began studying at the Royal Dental Hospital’s London School of Dental Surgery in Leicester Square. He qualified with a licentiate in dental surgery in 1932, and went on to Charing Cross Hospital medical school, qualifying as a doctor with the conjoint examination in 1936.
After house posts at the Royal Dental Hospital, he went into general practice, working with Wilfred Fish. During the Second World War, he initially worked at East Grinstead with the Emergency Medical Service, but in 1940 joined the Royal Army Medical Corps as a medical officer. He went with the 8th Army to North Africa, where he became a trainee surgical specialist. He was mentioned in despatches.
After the war, he returned to dentistry, spending half his week teaching conservative dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital and half in private practice in Harley Street. He gained his fellowship of the newly established faculty of dental surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1949.
In 1955 he became a consultant and director of the department of conservative dentistry at the Royal Dental Hospital. He was a reader from 1957 to 1963 and professor from 1963 to 1974. From 1965 to 1974 he was head of the enlarged department of restorative dentistry. He divided the restorative department into three divisions – conservative dentistry, fixed and removable prosthodontics and complete dentures – with the aim of giving young hospital dentists a broad training in each area. He was an examiner for the universities of London, Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham and Wales, as well as for the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
At the Royal Dental Hospital Pickard also started the innovative Commonwealth lectureship scheme, whereby young male academics from Commonwealth countries were appointed to the hospital for three years, to teach, research and take the FDSRCS exam.
Pickard’s influential textbook *A manual of operative dentistry* (London, Oxford University Press) was first published in 1961, and was subsequently published in multiple editions, latterly renamed *Pickard’s manual of operative dentistry*. He also wrote papers for the *Dental Record*, the *British Dental Journal* and the *International Dental Journal*.
Pickard was a founder member and first president of the British Society for Restorative Dentistry (from 1968 to 1969). He also started an annual Conservation Teachers Conference, which met at a different dental school every year. In 1971 he was president of the odontological section of the Royal Society of Medicine. In 1983 he was awarded the Tomes medal of the British Dental Association.
In 1945 he married Daphne (‘Dafy’) Evelyn Marriott. They had two daughters and several grandchildren. At one time he and Dafy ran the Nuttery in Newham, Northamptonshire, an historic cobnut orchard, now gifted to the Woodland Trust.
Pickard died on 17 July 2002 at the age of 93. As one of his obituarists wrote: ‘Pick was an excellent clinician, a wonderful teacher and a man with strong and progressive views about how dentistry should be taught and practised.’<br/>Resource Identifier RCS: E010405<br/>Collection Plarr's Lives of the Fellows<br/>Format Obituary<br/>Format Asset<br/>
