Work experience will help you decide if dentistry is for you, and importantly give you valuable first-hand insight. We strongly recommended this if you are applying to study dentistry.
The School may be able to help find a suitable placement if you are having difficulty organising one.
Through the Newcastle University Dental Graduates Association and links with training practices we have contacts with dentists throughout the UK. Please e-mail your details including a contact address, e-mail and telephone number to Michelle.Smith@newcastle.ac.uk
If you would like to arrange a week of work experience at the Dental Hospital in Newcastle, please write (including your contact details and the dates you would hope to visit) to:
Mrs Lynn Nichol
Dental Hospital
The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
Richardson Road
Newcastle upon Tyne

You can also get help in securing work experience through the Connexions service in your area.
