Dental Show
Professor Edward Lynch
A sell-out success T
2015 show draws record numbers
he Scottish Dental Show was a sell-out success this year, attracting record numbers and offering even more – proving that it is the must-attend event
for the Scottish dental community. Taking place over Friday 29 May and
Saturday 30 May, the event saw nearly ı,800 people walk through the doors of the Braehead Arena in Glasgow, a 30 per cent increase on last year. The trade show was fully booked with
more than ı40 exhibitors, and in terms of the programme, attendees were able to choose from 40 speakers and record up to eight hours of verifiable CPD. Among the speakers were the leading figures of the dental profession, such as Professor Edward Lynch of the University of Warwick and formerly of Queen’s University Belfast. Alan Ramsay, managing director of
Connect Publications, which organises the Scottish Dental Show and publishes Ireland’s Dental magazine, said: “It’s been another cracker this year – the show was a sell out, registrations were well up on last year and a record number of people attended the show and the awards. “The amazing success of this year’s
show demonstrates that this really is the must-attend event for the dentistry sector in Scotland.” Alan continued: “Feedback from those
at the show has been fantastic. In fact, we have already booked a quarter of the exhibitors for next year.”
A night to remember Dr Elizabeth Saunders received the Scottish Dental Lifetime Achievement Award to a rapturous reception at the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow on Friday 29 May. The 20ı5 Scottish Dental Awards saw
just under 400 guests rise to their feet to acclaim the winner of the night’s most prestigious prize. Dr Saunder’s career spanned nearly 40 years and she dedicated a large part of that to the practice, teaching and research in the field of endodontics. Deveron Dental Centre in Huntly was
the other big winner on the night as prac- tice principal Morven Gordon-Duff picked up Employer of the Year and dental nurse and practice manager Kirsty Rodger was named DCP Star. Gı Dental in Glasgow was named Prac-
tice of the Year, Samuel Barry Lemon of Bluewater Dental in Lochwinnoch picked up the Dentist of the Year gong, and Donna Morrison of The Dental Directory was named Scottish Dental Representative of the Year.
The Young Dentist Award was handed
to Jonathan Dougherty of Kilmarnock Dental Care, the Crown Dental Group in Aberdeen won the Dental Team Award and the Digital Strategy Award was picked up by Dental Studios Scotland. Scottish Dental Awards judge Margaret
Ross accepted the Unsung Hero Award on behalf of Dr Jon Victor who was unable to make it along on the night and the Labora- tory of the Year award was presented to Leca Dental Laboratory from Glasgow. The Business Manager/Administrator of
the Year went to Liz Alexander of South- west Smile Centre in Stranraer and Newton Stewart, the Community Award was presented to Linsey Paton of the Tryst Dental Practice in Stenhousemuir, while the Style Award was picked up by Glasgow Southside Orthodontics.
