Ethics' added to the topics list for this year's Premier Awards

Infection control for dental practices

29/03/2009

Building on the success of the last eight years, Dental Protection and schülke announce an expansion of The Premier Awards which this year will accept entries of original papers on dental ethics.

With a total prize fund of £6,000, the Awards offer one of the largest cash prizes for dental risk management projects in the UK. With the addition of the new category Ethics, there are now six subject areas to choose from:

Infection control,
Health and Safety,
Consent,
Record Keeping,
Teamworking and Skillmix, or
Ethics

Because ethics is now a GDC recommended core subject for CPD, any time spent developing a project for this category would count towards your unverified CPD totals.

All members of the dental team are eligible to enter, whatever stage of their career they have reached:

  • Dental care professionals (undergraduate, postgraduate or practising)
  • Dental undergraduates
  • Dentists (postgraduate or practising)

Dental Protection, the world's leader in indemnity and risk management support for the dental team has renewed their longstanding partnership with schülke, the European leader in infection control, to sponsor The Premier Awards for 2009. The event recognises achievements in developing awareness and the effective management of risk within clinical dentistry.

This year's Awards will be presented during The Premier Symposium to be held 28 November 2009 at Kings College, London. Application forms and leaflets are now available from Dental Protection.
