The shortlisting in the ‘Community-Based Social Enterprise’ category is the latest success for the organisation and further evidence of its status as one of the country’s most innovative and impactful businesses.
PDSE was established by the University of Plymouth in 2013, and now operates out of four dental education facilities – two in Plymouth, and one each in Exeter and Truro.
It has invested more than £2.5m into supporting the most vulnerable people in the region while offering ‘real world’ training to students from the University, who will become the next generation of dental professionals.
Over the past year, PDSE has eased the pain of 5,047 local people, put smiles on the faces of 79 refugees and asylum seekers, provided oral health education for thousands of local children in 146 schools, and influenced 81 new graduates to become socially responsible dental professionals.
