The Preventive Practice of the Year Award 2010 is designed to recognise the UK practice with the strongest, best established preventive ethos, whether it be NHS, private or mixed.

As a team, you will successfully communicate the oral health message to your patients, you will work together to raise oral health standards and you will regard prevention as your number one priority above all else.

Who will be judging?
An independent panel of judges including members of the Preventive Dentistry editorial board will compile a shortlist of four finalists from all entries received, at which point the position of power is passed over to you, the readers of Preventive Dentistry.

The four finalists will be presented in the first issue of 2011 (excerpts from their entries will be published). Readers will be asked to vote for the practice they believe deserves the title of Preventive Practice of the Year 2010.

The practice that receives the most votes will be crowned the winner.

How do I enter?
To enter, submit your details and 500 words explaining why your practice deserves to win.
You may submit as much material as you wish to support your claims such as photographs (please send hard copies as well as electronic), patient testimonials or PR.

The more effort you make to present clear reasons why you should win, the more impressed the judges will be.

The cost for entering the competition is £15 per practice.

If you would like to pre-register, please email Michelle.Mchutchison@fmc.co.uk or click here.

You will also win £500 for your practice to spend as you wish. Perhaps you could use it for a sophisticated team night out, or that new piece of equipment you've had your eye on.

This Award will help you get your practice the recognition it deserves.

What is the deadline?
All entries must be received by Monday 1 November 2010.  Enter now...
