Last month UDSS and Master of Pharmacy students collaborated to present a “Dental Products in the Pharmacy” workshop at Alexander lecture theatre on main campus. Lead by MPharm students Antoni Zeidan, Danielle Lim, Rachel Loh and Sarah Ho with the support of Dr Alex Park, Dr Manorika Ratnaweera, UDSS President Jim Rae and Education Representatives Amy Zhang and Banafsheh Sheriff, the workshop was planned and prepared over several months. The result was an event filled with prizes, Kahoots and case studies in intraoral and extraoral conditions with a turnout of over 100 students. Learning content included the diagnosis and management of common oral conditions seen in both dental practice and the community pharmacy setting such as oral candidiasis, HSV and aphthous stomatitis. This event aimed to generate an ongoing interdisciplinary dialogue and encourage professional collaboration between budding dental and pharmacy professionals. The workshop’s success would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors Ozdent and ADAWA

Here’s a quick flashback pop quiz question for the Probe readers out there: True or False? Community pharmacists can manage minor oral health conditions.
