2014 Bursary Award programme

The awards are intended to reward outstanding student work and are open to undergraduates and postgraduates. Entries can now be submitted via the ADG website www.dentalgroups.co.uk.

David Worskett, ADG chairman, said the ADG was continuing the bursary programme for a second year due to the level of interest shown by students, and the continuing need to promote professionalism and management as core skills amongst dental students.

“The 2013 programme was highly successful and was widely welcomed by the sector. We had seven very impressive prize winners. Chloe Richardson, Eliska Dvorakova and Hassaan Nasir, who came first in the the professionalism, management, and post-graduate categories respectively, proved to us that there is a strong sense of business acumen amongst some dental students, and we want to develop that more widely.”

“In addition to proving clinical excellence, students need to know how to run all aspects of a dentistry practice. This can only help improve patient outcomes.”
