August, 2010. National Training Award success for UMD ProfessionalUMD Professional is a finalist in this year’s National Training Awards in recognition of their suite of dental management qualifications. Last year saw a record number of practice managers and dentists achieve an Institute of Leadership and Management qualification with the company, and UMD Professional’s entry for the Awards focused on the successes of the managers undertaking the qualification. The judging process looked at the results of the training for individual managers, and the improvements that the managers made to their effectiveness in their roles within their practices. Fiona Stuart-Wilson of UMD Professional said: ‘We are delighted to have received this recognition for our work with dental practice managers, and thrilled that we are finalists in these prestigious awards. We intend to build on this success and continue to develop and offer relevant training to both dentists and managers seeking to develop their management skills in increasingly challenging times.’ UMD Professional is commencing more workshop courses and distance learning programmes in the autumn and grants towards course fees are still on offer in many areas. More information on the courses and the grants is available from Penny Parry on 020 8255 2070. April, 2010.

Joanne won the title in recognition of the outstanding results she has achieved through putting her management training into practice. She received her trophy in front of an audience of 500 people from Ralph Bauer, Chairman of City and Guilds, and Jake Humphrey, the BBC Sports presenter. Joanne also picked up a second award, one of the coveted City and Guilds Lion Awards in recognition of her achievements. Joanne had already won the ILM Learner of the Year for England regional title earlier in the year and was up against stiff opposition from other managers from a variety of professions and industries to take the overall title. Joanne had been nominated for the award by Fiona Stuart-Wilson of UMD Professional, with whom she had studied successfully for the ILM Level 7 Diploma in Executive Management last year. Speaking after receiving her award, Joanne said ‘I am absolutely delighted to have won the title of ILM Learner of the Year 2010 and to have been awarded a City and Guilds Lion Award. I hope that my success will encourage other practice managers to invest in formal management development, and reap the same sort of rewards for their teams and their practices that I have done.’ Fiona Stuart-Wilson of UMD Professional, said: “Joanne’s ability and determination to put theory into practice have not only resulted in the recognition that this award brings, but also act as an inspiration to other managers. Winning this title is testament to the fact that Joanne’s achievements are judged to be of a very high quality not just within dentistry, but right across the management spectrum. ‘ For more information about the ILM Diploma courses for dentists and managers, please contact Fiona Stuart-Wilson: fiona@umdprofessional.co.uk.
