On arrival, there will be a short introductory talk about the courses and an introduction to the profession and the clinical terminology used within the profession.

You will then break out into groups to experience some real-life experience of the pre-clinical simulated practical activities carried out as part of the teaching and learning on the courses. For example using a periodontal probe on a simulated model to record pocket depths, mix some dental materials and view dental radiographs to see how they support maintaining good oral health and diagnosis of disease.

Student ambassadors will be interacting within all of the activities and there will be opportunities for Q&A sessions with current students studying on the courses and also teaching staff.
