The Event
Doesnt time y! Did you know that it is 50 years since the rst students were admitted to study dentistry in Cardiff? To recognise this landmark, the School of Dentistry is holding a Golden Jubilee celebration on the 16-17th May at the Vale Hotel Resort, Hensol, Vale of Glamorgan. The weekend event will provide an excellent opportunity for alumni and staff to celebrate together the Schools many achievements in dental research, teaching and patient care. The programme will consist of a welcome BBQ on the Friday evening, followed by the Brian Cooke Lecture Day and a Gala Dinner on the Saturday. The BBQ will be a chance to relax and catch up with friends and colleagues whilst the Lecture Day will consist of CPD accredited lectures addressing all of the mandatory GDC subjects. The nal lecture will be the Brian Cooke Lecture itself, to be given by Professor Paul Dummer, who will describe the Challenges of delivering dental education in Wales. The nale will be a Gala dinner which we hope will provide an ideal setting to celebrate 50 years of dental education and professional friendship in Cardiff. The School of Dentistry is regularly ranked as being among the best dental schools in the UK for the quality of our education and research. We have also made signicant investment in our clinical, educational and research facilities, which now provide a learning and working environment that is the envy of many other dental schools in Europe. However our most valuable resource by far is our graduates and staff. We hope that the Golden Jubilee will serve as a way of keeping alumni in touch with their home university, and also be a thank you to all present and past staff who have made our School a source of pride and inspiration. This booklet contains all the information you require to attend all the events, and how you can help support current students within the School at a time of nancial challenge for us all. I do hope you will be able to join us in May for what I am sure will be a truly memorable occasion!
