A specialist Perthshire dental clinic has been selected as the only Scottish contributor to the healthcare section of the UK Parliamentary Review.
Oral surgeon Paul Stone, clinical director of Blackhills Clinic in Aberuthven, said he was “honoured” to receive an invitation to contribute to the publication.
The review offers a guide to best practice in management in key industries and across the public sector and is distributed to Government ministers, more than 150,000 leading UK business executives, policy-makers and opinion formers.
Blackhills’ submission focuses on its experience of operating in the private healthcare sector.
It said the review topic of raising standards in private healthcare “is an issue we really believe in and work hard to maintain within the clinic among all the staff and specialists”.
Review director Daniel Yossman said Blackhills had not been plucked out of thin air to feature.
Rather, it had been chosen as an “outstanding representative of dental care” within the private healthcare sector.
He said: “The key idea of the review is to demonstrate how determined leadership and innovative thinking can really turn around organisations or to highlight best practice of outstanding leaders in their field. The contributors thus act as a template for reform.”
