Congratulations to Dr David McReynolds, who graduated on 16th March 2022 with The Professional Special Purpose Certificate in Academic Practice from CAPSL (Centre for Academic Practice and Student Learning) at Trinity College Dublin with 1st Hons. 

The Dublin Dental University Hosital observed a minute's silence yesterday at 12pm to honour those who have died in Ukraine and for our healthcare colleagues in Ukraine who are working tirelessly and in great danger to continue to treat people in the most difficult circumstances.

On International Women’s Day 2022, Dr Alison Dougall was awarded the prestigious John Tomes medal by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and she accepted the award at the brand new RCS building in Lincolns Inn Fields, accompanied by Professor Blanaid Daly Dean of Dental Science, DDUH at the first in-person ceremony since the start of the pandemic. 

This 16 month training programme offers an opportunity to those currently employed as trainee dental nurses to achieve a formal award. Successful completion of this programme, commencing August 2022, will lead to a Diploma in Dental Nursing (Trinity College Dublin) and will permit entry onto the Voluntary Dental Council Register for Dental Nurses in Ireland.

The team at the Dental School and Trinity Centre for Ageing and Intellectual Disability in Trinity College Dublin and Dublin Dental University Hospital are proud to announce a funded PhD studentship with stipend for a suitable candidate.

New Irish study reveals frequent transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among healthcare workers, patients and the environment in a large acute hospital under non-outbreak conditions using whole-genome sequencing Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been endemic in Irish hospitals for several decades and remain a significant clinical issue. The introduction of various MRSA clones into Irish hospitals is poorly understood, with no universal MRSA patient admission screening. Routine screening of healthcare workers (HCWs) for MRSA is uncommon in most countries without a suspected epidemiological link between patient infections and HCWs. Environmental MRSA are not routinely investigated in hospitals.

The DDUH HR Department are delighted to announce that this year’s Barnardo’s Christmas Appeal received a great response. In total we have received over €400 in voucher donations.
