Dental hygienists/therapists play an increasingly important role in the delivery of primary care dentistry. The structure of this course is exciting and innovative in that it is fully integrated with the BDS Dentistry course. Both dental hygiene/dental therapy students and BDS students will learn their clinical and professional skills together and will take the same modules for 60% of the course. The School is already renowned for the depth of clinical experience its current students gain during their training, which has resulted in a 100% graduate employment rate. The first year of the course will involve early patient contact at the purpose built UCLan Dental Clinic and in Years 2 and 3 the students will gain further clinical experience with the BDS students at the four Dental Education Centres. Subject to GDC Approval All applications will be processed after the UCAS deadline 15th January 2017.  If an applicant is successful in gaining an interview these will take place between 20-23rd February 2017.
