Students will complete a clinical attachment, gaining exposure to treatment planning and supervised, hands-on treatment of patients from which they will develop a portfolio of achievement.

Statement of expectations from the students at each level of the programme as it/they develop year on year.
Level M/7 - Postgraduate Certificate |
As the students progress through the units, they will acquire a greater understanding of oral surgery procedures in the practice of dentistry. They will enhance their clinical skills and thus be able to manage a wider range of patients than prior to starting the certificate. The units provide M level knowledge in oral surgery in dentistry. The certificate may contribute to successful students undertaking primary dental care oral surgery cases under NHS commissioning arrangements. |
