HOW TO ENTER THE JOHN BANNON AWARD FOR BEST CLINIC IRELAND

Best Clinic categories are awarded regionally. The award is open to clinics that have been open for more than 12 months and will be judged on commitment to excellence in customer service, patient care and patient safety and evidence of good feedback from customers/patients. There will be no voting process and the winner will be decided by the judging panel. Aesthetics reserves the right to move your clinic entry to another regional category if deemed appropriate. You will be notified of this change.

Important – please check your entry carefully for accuracy, grammar and spelling as this information may appear in the Aesthetics journal and on the Aesthetics website as well as being considered as part of the judging process. There will be no opportunity to amend this once you have submitted your application online unless you pay a £100 plus VAT administration fee and this information is received before shortlisting has begun. We strongly suggest that you draft your answers offline and transfer these to the online entry form only when you are ready to submit.

1. Briefly describe your clinic. You should provide information about when it was established, numbers of patients treated, what treatments you offer (including specific technologies) and your practice ethos. This information may be shared on the Aesthetics Awards website if your entry is chosen as a finalist. (400 words)

2. Provide evidence of how your clinic has developed and improved in the last 12 months and provide details of one or more of the initiatives you have used to improve the service you provide. (400 words)

3. How does your clinic ensure that high levels of clinical expertise and patient safety are maintained? Please provide details of the certification maintained by the clinic, the name and training of the clinic’s Medical Director.

4. Discuss your approach to customer service including any measurable key performance indicators such as patient retention rates. (400 words)

5. Tell us about your team and its structure. How has it grown or developed and what training has the team undergone in the last year? What performance measurement tools for success do you use and how are these managed by senior staff members?

6. What do your patients say about you? Provide up to three recent customer comments and/or quantitative feedback or scoring if this is collected. Please note that if your clinic is selected as a finalist you may be required to provide contact details for these customers so that they can be contacted for comment by the Aesthetics team (400 words)

• Up to 4 images (e.g before and after patient images, product photographs, clinic images, team photos, template documentation)
