{MY}DENTIST WINS FOUR ACCOLADES AT INDUSTRY AWARDS

We are thrilled to announce that {my}dentist is celebrating after winning Best Dental Practice Corporate Group as well as three other accolades at the Dental Industry Awards 2020.

During lockdown, we provided patients with advice and help over the phone and supported local communities by delivering prescriptions and food whilst practice teams held fundraising challenges to help the most vulnerable.

We supported our 9,000 team members across the UK with regular communication via email, video broadcast and social media and put in place an extensive range of measures to keep everyone protected when practices reopened in June.

Nyree Whitley, Group Clinical Director, was also recognised at the awards for her leadership throughout the pandemic, being Highly Commended as Business Leader of the Year and the Communications team were Highly Commended as Team of the Year.

Finally, {my}dentist’s latest brand launch, {my}smile, which supplies clear aligners to straighten teeth, was Highly Commended as Dental Brand of the Year.

Tom Riall, Chief Executive of {my}dentist, said: “It’s an outstanding achievement to be named as Best Dental Practice Corporate Group, and testament to everyone’s hard work in pulling together to safely support our patients.

“I have never felt more proud of our teams right across the UK, but especially Nyree Whitley, our Communications team and the {my}smile team who have achieved so much in such a challenging year.”

The Dental Industry Awards recognise progress, effort and enterprise within the dental industry. The winners represent those individuals and organisations who raise standards and achieve an excellent patient experience.

The four awards are not the only accolades that {my}dentist and our team members have been nominated for or won during 2020;
