Spring Grove staff celebrate their win
Speaking after the win, David Cunningham said: “I’m absolute- ly delighted to have won the blue riband award in the UK for the best dental practice. To have won that in combination with winning the award for Best Patient Care is the ultimate combination. It’s been a long road for me to go from an NHS practitioner who was very disillusioned to somebody who has managed to create a fully private practice in the East End of Glasgow. “I just want to thank every- body that has helped us over the years, my patients, my staff and the group of advisors who I have had around me.”
And Arshad Ali, SCED’s clinical director, said: “When we set up SCED last year we had the oppor- tunity to make something really special. We put together the country’s best team and provid- ed them with the most advanced equipment and resources to give patients the finest treatment to be had anywhere. To be awarded Best Specialist Referral Practice at the Private Dentistry Awards is proof that we are firmly achiev- ing what we set out to do.” Also on the night, The Berkeley Clinic’s Jamie Newlands just missed out on the title of Private Dentist of the Year as he finished second to the winner Shameek Popat from Hertfordshire.
