Dental School Revamped To Cater For Increase In Students

Mon, 10 Nov 2008

The School of Postgraduate Medical and Dental Education at Cardiff University has been revamped to bring together staff and students within the facility’s dental annex.

Disused clinics in the dental annex have been transformed into 25 workstations for full and part-time tutoring and administrative staff.

First Minister Rhodri Morgan said the refurbishing work is an "important development" for the dental education centre.

"The expansion in the student intake in the dental school, from 55 a few years ago to 64 today to 75 in 2010 (a 33 per cent increase) has to be backed up by growth in continuing dental education in Wales," he explained.

The Minister added: "When the new Cynon Valley Community Hospital opens in a couple of years, it will include a £10m dental primary care centre linked to the dental school at UHW, so that our dentistry students can be educated to do outreach work in communities, where there are many challenges in oral health ."

"That is why I believe this is the most exciting period yet for oral health in Wales ."
