SENT ON BEHALF OF Dr BEN SCHEVEN
Elective Presentation Day – 14 November 2018
The Elective Presentation day which can be regarded as the culmination of the BDS Electives programme was held on 14th November when our top Elective students had the opportunity to present their Elective project. This year we had another great morning. Many thanks to Rachael Deen for her ongoing hard work to support the Electives programme and all her efforts to organise such a successful presentation morning.
We had a brilliant panel of judges who evaluated the presentations for consideration of one of the several prize awards available: Dr Martyn Chidgey, Mr Paul Carroll, Dr Sandy Buchan, Miss Hannah Serrage.
The standard of presentation was very high. The students made it extremely hard for the judges to make a decision. However after careful consideration the judges have awarded the prizes as follows:
- Jasmeet Heran
The Sands Cox Society John Rippin Memorial Prize for the Best Elective - Christie Grove
The Dental Student Society Prize for the Best Overall Elective Presentation to . - Adele Kletz and Jasmeet Heran
The Sir Arthur Thomson Trust prize - Emma Davies
The Onnelly Trust Elective prize - Annabelle Tibbett
The Gabrielle Stanley Prize for Paediatric Dentistry Elective - Adele Kletz
The Professor Anderson Elective Funding prize
The following students will receive a letter of commendation: Rahul Kalia, Frances Collett, Anisha Sharda, Ashika Shajahan.
Congratulations to all the students and well done.
