NASDAL DCby1 Practice of the Year award winner announced

This award is presented by NASDAL to recognise the outstanding commitment of practices to the DCby1 campaign. Launched by the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) in partnership with the Office of the Chief Dental Officer England, the campaign aims to increase the number of children who access dental care aged 0-2 years by encouraging dental appointments for babies before their first birthday.

The winner of the NASDAL Dental Check by One Practice of the Year 2023 Award and the £1000 prize is Ghyllmount Dental Practice, Penrith, Cumbria.

Heidi Marshall, chair of NASDAL, commented, “To see the huge efforts put in by practices up and down the UK into DCby1 is humbling. It is abundantly clear that it means so much to many practices, and at NASDAL we feel honoured to be able to support this initiative. We hope our award and the £1000 that the winning practice receives will enable them to achieve even more for access for children and babies moving forward. NASDAL has always been keen to recognise business excellence in dentistry - this award illustrates that doing the right thing makes good business sense too.
