CDO Sara Hurley with Chairman of NASDAL, Nick Ledingham
Speaking at the recent NASDAL biannual conference, CDO of England, Sara Hurley, announced the launch of the 2019 NASDAL Dental Check by One Practice of the Year award. The award seeks to recognise a practice that has successfully introduced the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) Dental Check by One into their practice. The aim of the campaign is to increase the number of children who access dental care aged 0-2 years.
Established in 2018, the award seeks to highlight excellence in the provision of oral care and prevention in children and showcase the opportunity to achieve a real business improvement. Particular credit is given to applications from dental practices with evidence supporting their contribution to the overall health of their community.
The CDO commented, “I am delighted to endorse such a worthwhile award. The UK-wide Dental Check by One campaign was launched by BSPD in partnership with the Office of the Chief Dental Officer England (OCDO) and we are strong supporters of the initiative and early attendance. I look forward to hearing how the entrants have reached out to their communities and engaged with families.”
Nick Ledingham, Chairman of NASDAL, added, “We know that doing the right thing makes good business sense – as an association we look to recognise business excellence in dentistry. This award recognises those practices whose efforts and imagination have reached more patients.”
Liz Roebuck, President of BSPD, welcomed the formal announcement off the 2019 award saying:
“When DCby1 was first launched, we were convinced that it would be highly rewarding for the practices that committed to it. Our expectations were exceeded with the entries for the 2018 NASDAL DCby1 Practice of the Year Award. We are delighted to continue our support for award. and look forward to reading more inspiring entries in 2019.”
