    Paediatric Dentistry

    It has been a while since you last heard from us! We've been busy with our final exams and are delighted to say that we have both passed and are now officially dentists! More good news is that we have a new episode to keep you all entertained. On this episode we had the amazing opportunity to interview our lovely guest, Alex Rushworth- Paediatric clinician at Newcastle Dental Hospital  and author of the fantastic children’s book, 'Open wide...what's inside?'.  We also discussed the impact the book has had as part of the 'Happy Teeth Happy Smile' project in Leicester and what it takes to be a brilliant paediatric dentist. Happy listening! *All episodes aired were pre-recorded prior to placement of social distancing measures.

    Professionalism

    We all regularly hear and use the word 'professionalism' but what does it actually mean to dentists and dental students? How does it affect our practice, and what must we do to remain professional at all times? Today we have invited Professor Janice Ellis who happens to be undertaking research in professionalism in addition to several other roles within the Newcastle Dental School. Stay tuned to hear her take on what it means to be a dental professional.  Happy listening!
