is an exciting time to join Bristol Dental School as we prepare to move into

role within the School; specifically providing leadership and vision in
orthodontic teaching.

We

About us
Bristol Dental School is responsible for
research and the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes
in Dentistry. Teaching takes place between the University precinct and at the
University of Bristol Dental Hospital (UBDH) and School. From 2023 the majority
of primary care dental undergraduate placements will take place in a new
state-of-the-art clinical facility in the centre of Bristol. This marks a significant
departure from the traditional model of dental training and has come with unprecedented
investment from the University of Bristol. The change to the operating model
allows for a strong focus on clinical education at this new site, whilst
enabling dental undergraduates to interact with specialist services at UBDH at
the appropriate stage in the curriculum. We are maintaining strong links with
UBDH and have a shared ambition to develop and expand the postgraduate
portfolio. We also intend the new model to facilitate expanded research
opportunities in population oral health and health services research, including
primary care, as well as our strengths in microbiology and materials.
