A FUNDRAISING EVENING in Spalding for the Children & Young Persons’ Assessment Unit was held recently, organised by Hayley Warner, Kim Howlett, Laura Hill and Sandy Crook. “The event was held to raise money for parent sleeper beds at Pilgrim Hospital in Boston,” says Hayley. “These are sofa armchairs that can be pulled out into beds so a parent or career unfortunate enough to have an overnight stay with us has somewhere comfortable and close to their child to sleep.” Over 400 people attended the event at Springfields, with raffle prizes and sponsorship from local businesses and entertainment from Spalding School of Dance, live music from The Walk and support from SN Events, organisers are awaiting confirmation of the final figure raised. n

Why the Dental Health team is SMILING
It’s normally The Dental Health Centre’s clients who are left smiling... but on this occasion, it’s the team themselves who are grinning from ear to ear. That’s because Practice Manager Paul Parkes and her team have been nominated for two prestigious industry awards...
NOTHING CAN EXPRESS confidence like a smile, and there’s no better reason to smile than when celebrating success. This summer, Grantham’s Dental Health Centre is awaiting the results of not just one but two awards for which they’ve been nominated. This accolade is not at all surprising considering the practice’s well-established history – almost 30 years in the making – not to mention consistently glowing reviews from loyal clients over the years. Patient Care Award There are currently over 3,000 partner clinics – including Grantham’s Dental Health Centre – working with Chrysalis Finance, the financial partner which helps to provide competitive finance for clients of the practice (and others like it across the UK) who want to spread the cost of their treatment with bespoke payment solutions. Each year, Chrysalis seeks to recognise those practices which prioritise and embody its core values. These include quality of care, trust, expertise and professionalism. Just 14 out of the company’s 3,000 allied practices were recognised in this year’s Patient Care Award, of which The Dental Health Centre was one.
Practice Manager of the Year In addition, the centre’s Practice Manager and Treatment Coordinator, Paula Parkes, had been recognised in her part in ensuring all patients receive a full consultation prior to commencing treatment. This key safeguarding measure ensures all clients are wellinformed and importantly well looked after throughout the process. The Practice Manager of the Year Award is held by Dentex, a dental partner for independent practices and has over 70 specialists providing support and expertise, to ensure companies like The Dental Health Centre can operate independently, caring for their patients whilst simultaneously accessing to the latest training, advice, and support. “Paula demonstrates great ethical work principals and lives the Dentex values in her professional relationships with her team and patients,” a spokesperson for Dentex said. “Paula has grown the practice financially, managed and retained the clinicians and staff in a wonderful manner, developed innovative strategies to grow the practice, and always has patient care as her top priority.” “Paula continues to provide focus and dedication in delivering an outstanding patient journey. She truly embodies all of the Dentex values we believe in.”
Satisfied Clients “It’s really great to be recognised within the industry and to have the whole ethos of the Dental Health Centre acknowledged,” says Paula. “But we’re also really proud to receive lots of really good feedback from our lovely clients too.” “Dentistry has changed a huge amount over the nearly 30 years since Colin Sutton established the practice, and to hear about the difference we make to our patients’ lives is really rewarding.” “We always try to go the extra mile to ensure our patients receive first class care and the latest treatments in a relaxed environment.” “Knowing that a smile is about confidence just as much as appearance, we’re able to provide a range of treatments like implants, single-visit crowns, veneers, tooth-whitening, and general dentistry because we believe that a happy, confident smile should be available to everyone... it’s a right, not a privilege!” n
