The Private Dentistry Awards 2007


 





There are 13 different categories and the overall Practice of the Year Award. Please include relevant supporting material as well as professional high-resolution photographs on disk. Private Dentistry recommends its photographer Lloyd Goodall who is offering a special rate for entry photography. For details contact him on 07759 206 081 or email lloyd@lloydgoodall.co.uk

Most attractive practice
Is your practice cover shot material? Do you have a visually stunning practice with a 'wow' factor? Demonstrate to the judges through high-resolution photographs (on disk and hard copy), plans and possibly video images that you really can judge a book by its cover.

Best employer
Is your boss one in a million? Do you have an employer who goes that extra mile to encourage you, to help develop your career? Do they see you as individuals not just employees? We are looking for that special someone who defines the essence of a caring and considerate employer.

Most improved practice
We seek the practice that has made the most dramatic and profound changes in the last twelve months. Have you undergone major changes in appearance, working practices? We are looking for changes that are more than just skin deep, show us that your whole character has undergone a rethink and reinvention.

Best marketing
What is your unique selling point? How have you marketed and differentiated yourself from your competition? We seek innovators and lateral thinkers who set new benchmark standards in marketing their services.

Best patient care
Is a visit to your practice truly something to be relished? Do you offer the highest standards of care and courtesy throughout a patient's experience? Provide us with glowing testimonials from your patients to support your entry.

Most innovative practice
Are you a groundbreaker, creating trends instead of following them? Have you created something truly unique within your organisation, which is the envy of all those who hear about it? We seek truly creative thinkers from within dentistry.

Best new practice
Have you started a practice from scratch or completely re-invented a redundant building during the last year? We wish to reward the best developers and creators who have made significant business progress in a short space of time.

Practice must have opened after 1st January 2009.

Best dental team
A team is the sum of many parts. Is your team something special to be singled out for praise? Do you have that blend which makes individuals into a cohesive supportive and productive group? Give your staff the recognition they deserve for being the best at what they do.

Best specialist referral practice
The increasing specialisation within the profession has created a market for specific types of practice. Is your referral practice the best of the best? Do you have loyal referrers willing to provide testimonials as to your clinical skills and patient management techniques?

Best dental laboratory
Is your laboratory top for quality, service and efficiency? Do you have great marketing techniques? Reveal to us why you are the best laboratory and what makes you stand out from the rest.

Best community or charity project
Do you give back something extra to your local community? Have you made notable charitable contributions? Are you focussed on more than improving profits? Demonstrate what difference your practice has made to your community or tell us about a charity project you have undertaken that has made a real difference to the service you provide.

Outstanding individual of the year
Does your support team have an indispensable cog without whom nothing will work? Who is your most valuable backroom individual punching well above their weight within your organisation? Let them step out of the shadows by telling us why they deserve recognition for their contribution to your practice. Entrants must be nominated for this award and all entries should be supported by testimonials from colleagues, staff and patients (if possible).


Private dentist of the year
We seek the profession’s overall champion performer. Tell us who combines charismatic leadership, dedicated patient care, ethical principles, first class practice management, clinical skills and a certain “something” which makes this individual worthy of the highest recognition. Prove to us their commitment to the practice, the community, the environment and continual professional development.

Entries must include three patients' case studies including before and after photos.

Practice of the year
The judges will put forward the best of the best into The Practice of the Year category. The winning practice will exemplify all that is to be admired in UK dentistry today.
