Premier Awards celebrate 10th anniversary

Dental Protection and schülke have been delighted with the success of this major educational event in the dental calendar. This year the two sponsors are particularly pleased to announce the 10th anniversary of the Premier Awards.

The Premier Awards were originally created to reward dental professionals who recognise the importance of patient safety within the dental practice.  Throughout their ten-year history dental professionals from a variety of specialisms have received one of the prestigious awards.

With a total prize fund of £6,000, the Premier Awards offer one of the largest cash prizes for dental risk management projects in the UK. There are now six subject areas available for submitting entries.

• Ethics and professionalism,
• Record keeping,
• Cross-infection control,
• Teamworking and Skillmix,
• Consent and communication,
• Health and Safety
 
All members of the dental team are eligible to enter, whatever stage of their career they have reached:
 
         Dental care professionals (undergraduate, postgraduate or practising)
         Dental undergraduates
         Dentists (postgraduate or practising)
 
Dental Protection, the world’s leader in indemnity and risk management support for the dental team has renewed their longstanding partnership with Schülke, the European leader in infection control, to present the Premier Awards for 2010. Once again the event will recognise individual achievements in developing awareness and the effective management of risk within clinical dentistry.
 
This year’s Awards will be presented during The Premier Symposium to be held at Kings College, London on Saturday 4 December 2010.
