💚🎗️ Supporting Charities Close to Our Hearts 🎗️💚

At Rutherglen HC Dental Practice, giving back to our community means so much to us 💚

We’re proud to introduce our charity collection box at reception – available all year round! Every 2 months, we’ll be supporting a different charity, and to help your kindness go even further, the practice will match every donation, meaning each charity receives DOUBLE the support 💷➡️💷✨

Our first charity of the year is Macmillan Cancer Support 💚🎗️
Over the years, many of our team have sadly lost family members, friends, and patients to cancer, making this cause especially close to our hearts 💚

To boost our fundraising even more, some of our team will be taking on HYROX challenges 💪🔥🏃‍♀️ to raise additional funds for Macmillan!

If you’re visiting us, please consider popping a donation into the collection box 🪙💚 — every little bit helps and truly makes a difference 🌟

Thank you for supporting our fundraising journey and helping us support those who need it most 💚🙏

We’re delighted to welcome our new dentist, Ryan Gavigan to the team at Rutherglen HC Dental. A graduate of Glasgow Dental Hospital, Ryan brings with him up-to-date clinical knowledge and a genuine passion for patient care.

Originally from Kings Park, Ryan is local to the area and is excited to be working within the community he knows so well. With his friendly and relaxed approach, he quickly puts patients at ease and is committed to providing high-quality, comfortable dental care to both new and existing patients.

Outside the practice, Ryan enjoys trail running, hitting the gym, and keeping active. A big sports fan, he’s rarely far from a match or game – and when he’s not watching or playing sports, he’s out walking his three energetic border collies: Jess, Daisy, and Sammy.

Ryan starts in the practice in September and we will be taking names for new patients to register with him from Monday 28th July.

Many of my own patients will know that for the last two years I have been Chair of the Conference of Scottish Local Dental committees. It has been a privilege and a wonderful experience.

The theme of this years conference was “Attract, retain, thrive - building a sustainable work force in NHS dentistry in Scotland”.

Many of our patients and colleagues do not see the work that goes on behind the scenes to ensure we still have an NHS dental service.

Throughout my years as chair, I have been fortunate to attend UK dental conference and meet with colleagues & ministers from across the UK. It’s made me realise how proud we should be & how fortunate we are to have the service we have in Scotland. It’s not perfect but the provision here, in my opinion, is way ahead of the rest of the UK. We all continue to work together for a stronger NHS dental service, one that looks after both patients and dental teams.

It’s now time to hand it over to the very capable Hazel Hannigan from Hannigan dental care. I’m proud and delighted the next Chair is also a Lanarkshire dentist & shares the same vision as I do!

I’m also delighted to share we are in the process of installing a 4th surgery in the practice and hope to have a new dentist start in September. This will mean we will be in the position to register new patients from July. Keep your eyes peeled & we’ll keep you updated.

Thanks once again to all our wonderful patients for their support! We will continue to fight for a strong NHS dental service for you all!
