Victoria McPolin, orthodontic therapist at Zen Orthodontics, took away the award for Best Team Member in Northern Ireland. She says: ‘I was thrilled to win my award! To be acknowledged at a national level is amazing. I foresee the benefits of winning such an award as helping set Zen Orthodontics apart from other practices, and to help inspire others to enter awards in future.’
