After a busy day at the Dental Show the day was far from over. On the Friday night Kerry and Amy were lucky enough to attend the Scottish Dental Awards. So with dresses and high heels on they set off for this years choice of venue, Glasgows Science Centre.
Greeted by a glass of bubbly and with everyone looking glam we were in for a good night!
A quick check of the seating plan and we off to Table 1. We were seated with a lovely group of four ladies from Cowal Community Care.
Our host for the evening was the likeable cheeky chappie Peter Martin, a Sky Sports presenter. He kicked the proceedings off to a good start, lightening the mood and definitely the tone.
Dinner is served…. a 3 course treat, smoked salmon terrine, a lamb main course followed by a delicious crème brulee, mmmmmm.
With dinner out of the way it was time for the main event, and the reason most of us were there, The Scottish Dental Awards.
The awards are a result of nominations for different categories. Last year we were delighted to lift the title of *Most Attractive Practice* and *Best Nominated Private Practice*!
The nominations and entries are judged by a panel of judges from across the dental industry.
This year we concentrated on a surprise entry for Amy in the category of Dental Care Professional Star. This category aims to recognise a team member who always goes above and beyond the call of duty and is an indispensable member of the practice. We had no problem gathering lots of amazing testimonials from clients, lecturers and colleagues to prove how Amy stands out from the crowd and has a huge positive influence on our team, patients and clinic.
Drum-roll please…… and the Winner of DCP Star is…… AMY STEELE. We were delighted that the judges agreed with us and awarded this title to Amy. Her attitude and effort are hugely recognised and appreciated by all of us.
The night continued with some more award winners and concluded with Professor Andrew Lamb being awarded with the Scottish Dental Lifetime Achievement Award- very well deserved.
With the awards done and dusted it left time for just a couple of things, celebrations and dancing! With ‘Lost Angels’ playing into the wee small hours it was a great end to a fun night.
We would like to extend our congratulations to the other award winners and a massive well done to the event organisers, especially Ann Craib who worked tirelessly to make the whole event happen. Roll on next year!
