Clinical Skills final – line-up confirmed!

Dentsply Sirona lists the finalists in this year’s Dental Clinical Skills Competition.

Whilst it’s been getting steadily colder outside, things have really been ‘hotting up’ amongst competitive undergraduate final year students!

December saw the last of the heats of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) and Dentsply Sirona Dental Clinical Skills Competition, a competition with the aim of discovering the UK and Ireland’s most skilled undergraduate dentist. Over 400 final-year students competed in crown preparation skills in the 18 dental schools involved in the competition across the British Isles.

The final heat took place on Monday 17 December at the University of Dundee, and the final line-up is now confirmed. Heat winners will meet at the grand final at the RCSEd on 28 February 2019, where they will be set a number of different challenges to determine who is the most skilled. This will be followed by a dinner and presentations at the college.
