Antony Stacey GDP Private
Qualified from: BDS Newcastle University 1977
GDC No: 50910
It was always my ambition to become a dentist. Having qualified from Newcastle University in 1977, I joined a practice in Warwickshire as a junior associate. When the practice owner offered me the chance to buy the practice some two years after, I jumped at the chance! Since then, my passion for dentistry has continued to grow. I have always sought to increase my knowledge and skills within the profession, always exceeding my legal obligations for professional learning and development. Having developed the practice over 30 years, when it became time to consider retirement I was in two minds. The intention was always to move to the southwest, an area which offers so much, but the wish to keep working was always there.I feel I have achieved the best work/life balance for me and my wife, Debby. We continue to work on three days a week, but enjoy the luxury of a four day weekend!Our leisure time is certainly busy, we enjoy our boat in Brixham, I play the occasional round of golf, (badly!), and we love spending time with our grandchildren.
