From the Module Lead
Community engagement and social awareness is a key element
of the PUPSMD programme and students work closely with
communities throughout their training.
Linking together education of dental and dental therapy hygiene students
to communities using our model of community engagement is unique in the
UK. It provides students with opportunities to develop a wider range of skills
and experiences to draw upon in their professional careers to help them
deliver dental care to an increasingly demographically diverse population
and in a rapidly changing health environment.
These education goals also provide service to local communities and in
doing so brings a sense of realism to important oral health challenges and
the wider responsibilities of being a dental professional which cannot easily
be taught in the classroom. This provides unparalleled contextual learning
and experience, not to mention a degree of fun and challenge that meet
one third of the learning outcomes in the GDC document ‘Preparing for
Practice’.

• finding out more about a specific population group,
Remember, community matters!
• working with other professionals
• delivering an effective intervention.
It is also a unique opportunity for students to develop a range of skills and
attributes which are important for all health care professionals, for example
communicating well, demonstrating understanding and empathy, having
a friendly and welcoming approach. I am delighted that each group has
delivered an intervention which is of value and meaning to their hosts; it is
great to see the commitment students put into their projects. The variety
of interventions is inspiring; this year students have delivered workshops,
hosted visits to the DEF’s, supported young people with learning difficulties,
helped refugees and asylum seekers, organised a ‘lunch and learn’ session
and held a Christmas party…..phew!

How does the Inter-
Professional Engagement
Module work?
In the first year students work in Enquiry Based Learning (EBL)
and Dental Therapy and Hygiene (DTH) groups as they are
introduced to the concept of community engagement, as part
of their Inter-Professional Engagement (IPE) module. Groups
visit organisations to discuss and understand the impacts of
demography and lifestyle issues on local people.
In year two of the programme, students are able to build on their learning
from their year one experience by working with an allocated host
organisation. In their EBL and DTH groups, students visit their organisation
to develop an understanding of how they support community groups,
individuals, clients and service users. Using their knowledge, students work
in partnership with the organisation to design and deliver an intervention,
focussing on adopting positive, healthy lifestyles whilst being mindful of the
social and organisational barriers that prevent communities from
achieving this.
The IPE module is one of the building blocks for students at Peninsula
Dental School. introducing core academic skills in exploring, searching
and selecting evidence-based information as well as developing societal
and community awareness so students understand their future role in the
healthcare system and wider society.

Dementia Friends
Dementia is caused by a number of diseases that affect the brain
and progresses differently in each individual.
Dementia may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or
language. These changes are often small to start with, but have become severe enough
to affect daily life. A person with dementia may also experience changes in their mood or
behaviour. As a result, people living with dementia can experience barriers to accessing
healthcare, including dentistry.
Plymouth University has been at the centre of designing, implementing and supporting the
development of the Urban Plymouth Dementia Action Alliance. A Dementia Friend learns
what it’s like to live with dementia and turns that understanding into action.
Aim: To assess staffs awareness of issues that people with dementia face
when accessing PDSE Dental Education Facilities and carry out
premises assessments to provide recommendations to facilitate
the creation of a more dementia friendly environment.
• Supported by the Dementia Alliance, students assessed support at the dental school for
patients with dementia and their carers
• Recommendations were made to become more dementia friendly

British Red Cross
The British Red Cross in Plymouth, supports refugees in a wide
variety of ways.
This includes offering emergency food, clothes or small amounts of cash to those facing
severe hardship. They also help refugees access services and offer friendly advice to
the most vulnerable. Short-term support is offered to help vulnerable and newly arrived
refugees adapt to life in a new country. Additionally, sometimes refugees flee persecution
in their own country only to find that the country in which they seek asylum cannot offer
protection or basic human rights. In such cases, resettlement to a third country is often the
only safe option. The Red Cross plays a specific role in the reunion of families who have
been separated around the world, and who have been allowed by the Home Office to join
their families in the UK.

32 33From the IPE2
Co-ordinator
It has been a pleasure to work alongside the student groups as
they embrace this unique opportunity to develop meaningful and
effective community engagement projects.
Working in partnership alongside host organisation, students have been
given an insight into the health and well-being of a variety of population
groups. This approach encourages the students to engage directly with
people from different demographic and social groups who may not
ordinarily be seen in clinics.
Over a short timeframe, I’ve observed students learn about their community
and its individual needs, have their views challenged, grow in confidence
and improve their inter-personal skills, widen their knowledge, experience
team working and reflect upon the impact this module will have on their
future practice.
As a result, it is hoped that as dental care professionals they will be able to
address the needs of not only those who attend their clinics, but to broaden
their horizons to support those within their wider community to address oral
health inequalities that exist today.
It would be impossible to deliver this module without the amazing,
collaborative support of our host organisations, academic team and Well
Connected and of course the enthusiasm of our fabulous students. A huge
thank you to all involved who have made co-ordinating IPE2 so enjoyable
and successful.
