Dental Awards
Fiona’s winning perspective
Fiona Duncan, winner of the Community Award at the 2014 Scottish Dental Awards, tells us about her experiences. “The day after the premiere of my anti- smoking DVD The Last Cigarette on No Smoking Day, my colleague Lyndsey Dain received an email about nominations for The Scottish Dental Awards.
“The DVD was two years in the making and, in that time, I worked very closely with the local community, grammar school and various agencies.
“Lyndsey thought it was perfect timing to see if I could win some recognition for all the hard work involved.
“I couldn’t believe it when I received a phone call saying that I had been short- listed in two categories [DCP Star and the Community Award].
“The award night was fun from start

Make 2015 a year to remember
The 2015 Scottish Dental Awards promise to be bigger and better than ever before. We have a new venue in the Glasgow Thistle Hotel, a new host in TV and radio star Tam Cowan and three brand new categories: Young Dentist of the Year, Employer of the Year and Digital Strategy. So, if you know a high-
fl ying dentist who has made a big impression early on in their career, we want to know about them. The award is open to dentists who are under the age of 30 as of 29 May 2015. We are looking for an individual whose achieve- ments, experience and professionalism belies their
young age, so get nominating if you know someone who deserves to win.
The Employer of the Year award aims to recognise those bosses who take exceptional care of their staff. We are looking for testimonials and citations from as many staff members as possible, listing why your boss deserves to be recog- nised as the best in Scotland. And, the Digital Strategy award looks to highlight the person, practice, team or organisation that has really embraced digital technology. From social media campaigns to website relaunches and e-newsletter communication,
we want to know why you should win.
Nominations for all the awards are FREE and you can enter as many colleagues for as many categories as you like. Closing date for entries is midnight on 31 March 2015.
