The General Dental Council has announced the 2006 winners of the GDC Prize for Professionalism. Amongst the winners are Dental Hygienist Andrijana Paratusic, and Combined Hygienist & Therapist Hasmita Madhani of the School of Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy, Eastman Dental Hospital, London.
The Prize for Professionalism gives the GDC an opportunity to recognise the achievements of student dental professionals in the UK. It is an annual prize, sponsored by the GDC Charitable Trust, and makes a financial award to students who have demonstrated professionalism in areas such as patient care, clinical governance, team working, communication skills, reliability, integrity and knowledge.
Each UK dental school, school of dental hygiene and school of dental therapy with undergraduates nominates a winner from each of the courses they run. The prize is £250 for dentistry students; £150 for dental therapy students and combined dental therapy and hygiene students; and £100 for dental hygiene students (the prize money corresponds to the length of the study programmes).
