The General Dental Council (GDC) has announced this year's winners of the GDC Prize for Professionalism award. The annual Prize for Professionalism aims to recognise the achievements of student dental professionals in the UK.

Sponsored by the GDC Charitable Trust, it is awarded to students who have demonstrated professionalism in areas such as patient care, clinical governance, team working, communication skills, reliability, integrity and knowledge.

The GDC invited all UK dental schools, schools of dental hygiene and schools of dental therapy with undergraduates to pick a winner each from among their students. The winners of the Prize for Professionalism Award 2005 are shown in the table, right.

The winners will receive their prize money and certificates at an award ceremony in early 2006. See Table 1.
