Practice Manager Heather and Dentist Chris at the awards ceremony
Caring Dental is proud to have won the award for Exceptional Apprenticeship Employer, as part of the Apprenticeship Celebration Awards 2026.
During National Apprenticeship Week 2026, Caring Dental was the winner out of more than 30 businesses put forward for the award, beating off stiff competition.
At a ceremony at Orpington College, covering London South East Colleges (LSEC), the award was presented to practice owner Chris and practice manager Heather, for their commitment and excellence in training dental nurse apprentices over several years.
Commenting on the apprenticeship programme, Chris said, “It’s very important for Caring Dental to nurture and support young local talent, to give them the opportunity to embark on a career in dentistry, and we have been fortunate to take on such excellent hard-working team members. We regularly receive compliments from patients about how excellent all our dental nurses are and that is testament to them.
“We are extremely grateful to LSEC for giving us this award and we look forward to continually partnering with them to train and support future apprentices as our team continues to grow.”
