The Premier Symposium held in London just before Christmas was the setting for the announcement of the winners of the Premier Awards 2010.
Organised by Dental Protection in conjunction with Schulke, this annual risk management competition has a total prize fund of over A$9,000.
Congratulations go to Sarah Holslag a hygienist from Victoria for her winning entry in the category for dental hygienists and therapists. Her project was entitled; “Informed consent; Have you got it?”
Sarah is based in East Malvern and works at Caulfield Park Dentist and part of her prize included the flight to London. Sarah said, “Winning the Award has given me great encouragement to continue researching and writing and developing my career as a hygienist, and hope one day I can pass my knowledge onto others.”
This year’s competition was of a very high calibre and Trevor Burke, Chair of Dental Protection, who presented the awards took time to encourage dentists and DCPs from across all 70 countries where DPL has members to participate again next year.
Kevin Lewis, Dental Director of Dental Protection said, “The entries to this year’s Awards have once again exceeded our expectations, with so many different projects being submitted by a wide variety of dental professionals. The Awards focus on raising the awareness and management of risks within the practice, and we are delighted that so many of this year’s entries were so relevant to many of the hot topics in dentistry”
