Ministers preview university's dental training facilities

Tom Hunt, Ipswich MP, James Cartlidge, South Suffolk MP, and Peter Aldous, Waveney MP, had a preview tour of the University’s Centre for Dental Development, including new teaching rooms for BSc Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy. The ministers also visited the dental practice rooms, which will be operated by the University of Suffolk Dental Community Interest Company (Dental CIC) housed in the same building.

The MPs were shown around by Helen Langton, the university’s vice-chancellor, who said, “This innovative partnership between the NHS and the University of Suffolk will help to develop a sustainable and multi-skilled dental care workforce for the future that will contribute to supporting the oral health needs of our population in Suffolk.
