Thanksss, you too!! I haven’t heard back from Bristol yet. When did you apply and how long did they take to get back to you?
I’ve found some basic interview questions online and I’m also reading the scope of practice of DHDT. What about you? Btw is yours gonna be MMI?

I applied at the very start of October and they asked me to fill out their extra work experience form thingy towards the end of October then they finally got back to me last weekend!! :smile: aww and don't worry, I'm still waiting to hear back from my other 4 choices as well. I'm not too sure whether it'll be MMI but I presume so.

Oh okay that’s fine then I only applied mid November so I guess I have some time before I hear back from them. Where else have you applied? x

I sent mine off at the start of October and have you heard from Bristol yet??
And yes I am, I know that Newcastle do internal transfers so after first year DH students can apply to be moved onto 2nd year dentistry if they get 75% overall in their modules but I’m not sure whether to put Newcastle as my first choice strategically and do that or just go back and do post grad dentistry when I’m like 30🤣

I heard Liverpool do something similar, so after the 3 years of DHT, the top students can do a further 2 years to complete the dentistry course, so that’s another option if dentistry is your end goal x

No reply from Bristol yet.
I know Plymouth does the same but I feel like it very difficult to get into and it's only given if there is space in dentistry.
Would you do postgrad straight after dental therapy and hygiene?

Yes I would. Probably not straight after, I think i’d take a break in between and work as a hygienist, save money and get my life together first etc then go back and do post grad hopefully before I’m 30
hello, on the bristol website i saw you have to fill in that work experience form but it doesn't say what it is, what information do you have to include on this form?
