Introduction of our New MClinDent Programmes

We are proud to introduce our new suite of MClinDent programmes: all of which have a common foundation of Restorative Dentistry. We have created three bespoke options to enable dentists to acquire specialist skills and knowledge in the fields of:

  • Endodontics
  • Periodontics
  • Prosthodontics

The fundamentals of all three elements will be studied in stage 1 of the MClinDent and will remain a common theme in stages 2 and 3 as you continue to develop in your speciality of Endodontics, Periodontics or Prosthodontics.

The MClinDent (Endondontics) and the MClinDent (Periodontics) programmes are now both open for applications for September 2022 entry.

 

 

Course Leads

Endodontics: Prof John Whitworth - John Whitworth is a Professor of Endodontology, an honorary Consultant in Restorative Dentistry (Endodontics) and is currently President of the European Society of Endodontology. 

Periodontics: Dr Richard Holliday - Richard Holliday is an honorary Consultant in Restorative Dentistry and specialist in Periodontics. He is a clinical academic with a focus on translational research and clinical trials. 

I am thoroughly delighted to see the realisation of our new postgraduate clinical education offer at Newcastle University and our School of Dental Sciences.

Professor Giles McCracken, Director of Postgraduate Taught Programmes

All programmes enjoy the support of a diverse group of academic and NHS specialists  who will broaden and enrich the student experience.

This announcement highlights a wider portfolio of clinical education the School has been wanting to offer for many years.  There is an excellent team at Newcastle, and it is now time for us to open applications, deliver these programmes and provide wider opportunities for dentists to train towards specialist status in the UK and beyond.

The MClinDent (Prosthodontics) programme will be open to applications in time for September 2023 entry.
