Joint-winners, both with initiatives supporting the wellbeing of looked-after children, have been awarded the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) 2022 Outstanding Innovation Award (OIA).

Jemma Facenfield is a co-winner for her ‘Dental Clinic for looked-after children and adolescents’ and Lucy Ridsdale joins her as a winner for her initiative, ‘Dental Care Pathways for looked-after children’.

Additionally, the judges would also like to recognise Christine Park, for her ‘Serious Game for the teaching and training of dental team professionals’, whilst the digital innovation of Armaana Ahmed’s ‘Live Mind Maps for children’s dentistry’ initiative was noted.
