University recognised for community contributions

2 mins read Training and leadership
The University of Plymouth’s work to combine first-rate dental training with outstanding community care has been rewarded at the Times Higher Education Awards 2023.

The pioneering work of the Peninsula Dental School and the Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise won the Outstanding Contribution to the Local Community category at the awards.

It is recognition of the efforts of more than 100 staff and 400 students working and studying with the university, and in communities across Devon and Cornwall.

Ewen McColl, a professor and head of the Peninsula Dental School, said, “This award is a fantastic achievement for everyone connected with the University of Plymouth, Peninsula Dental School and Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise. To have our work recognised at a national level is further evidence that our approach is delivering positive change across our community. It is the result of an amazing team effort that continues to benefit our students and staff and the people of Devon and Cornwall."
