Entry for the 2023 Dentistry Scotland Awards has opened – here’s everything you need to know to submit your entry.
The Dentistry Scotland Awards is the largest ceremony celebrating excellence in Scottish dentistry. The awards recognise the achievements of both teams and individuals who represent the very best that Scottish dentistry has to offer. This year, the online ceremony will take place on 26 October 2023.
Winning an award sets your practice apart from the competition. Prospective patients will take award wins as proof of the quality of your care and will be more likely to choose your practice. Existing patients also appreciate being part of an award-winning practice, which cements their loyalty and increases a sense of community.
The awards are also great for practice teams – whether you win or not. The ceremony is an opportunity to gather outside of work to celebrate your achievements. While the ceremony is online to enable everyone to attend with minimal travel and expense, you and your team can still tune in together. If your practice or a member of staff does win an award, your whole team’s morale will be boosted.
If you’d like a chance at winning a prestigious Dentistry Scotland Award, it’s time to start compiling your entry. The deadline is 22 September 2023, so get started soon to avoid missing out.
