a very warm welcome from your new committee

Lady President -

​Hey, my name is Simran and I will be Lady President this year, working alongside Dilan. First of all, congratulations for being accepted here at Liverpool, we cannot wait to meet you all! My job is to oversee the events being thrown this year and make sure that we, as a committee, are doing everything we can so you will make the most of your time here as part of Liverpool's dental school. Joining LUDSS in first year helped me integrate quickly into the dental school by making great friends and using the support available for studies, and this is what LUDSS is here to do for you too! Enjoy your summer and be prepared for what we have planned this year!

President - Jack Dixon 

Hey guys, I'm Jack, and I'm the new President this year. Myself and Amanda are the ones who are responsible for organising and overseeing all the events throughout the next year. Personally I've had such an amazing 3 years so far, and being part of LUDSS played a big part in that. Our aim as a committee is to make sure we make your first year the most memorable and that everyone is catered for! I look forward to meeting you all in September!

​Top tip: Don't be shy and get involved in as many LUDSS events as you can! You'll be amazed at how many friends you make from within all the years above, as well as your own!

Secretary - Tom Murray

​​Yo! I'm Tom from Bristol, and I'm the LUDSS secretary for this year. I'll be the one keeping you up to date with what's going on in the Dental School. We organise many events throughout the year, including nights out, sports and trips away - so make sure you don't miss out! If you have any questions or worries feel free to talk to me, and well done for getting a place in Liverpool! (You won't regret coming here)

​PS - emails could end up in your junk mail!

Charity Secretary - Ellie Barrass

​Hiya I’m Ellie, Charity Secretary for LUDSS 2018/19. I’m here to organise all the charity events for the upcoming year including sports days and bake sales! Please make sure you get yourselves as involved as possible as I know it’ll be an amazing year and LUDSS can continue to make a difference with its great fundraising !

Publications Secretary​ - Jack Cottam

Hey guys, I’m Jack. Many congratulations on getting your place at Liverpool Dental School – still one of my proudest achievements to date! I remember this time so well 3 years ago. The A level or past degree stress (for those of you who are post-grads) is now over. If I had to give one piece of advice for 1st year, it would be to make the most of university life. You have a lot of free time, but this will change in 2nd year onwards. Still work hard, but do enjoy yourself.

My role includes building, writing and maintaining the LUDSS website and keeping you all up to date using our social media. Be sure to follow us! I am also a member of the student pastoral care team.

Junior BDSA Rep - Kajal Kotecha

Hey! I’m Kajal and I’m the Junior BDSA rep this year! It’s the only third year role on the committee and I work with Georgia to help organise the BDSA events. These include BDSA sports weekend and the BDSA conference which are both really good opportunities to meet other dental schools. See you all in September! 

Senior BDSA rep - Georgia Blagden

Hey! I’m Georgia and my role is the Senior BDSA rep. My main role is helping organise the BDSA sports weekend and conference. These are great events which happen every year and are really fun. This years sports weekend is in Manchester, and the conference is in Cardiff. I run the BDA stand at trade fairs in the common room, so I can answer any questions about joining the BDA. I love a good night out, so I’m sure I’ll be meeting you all very soon on the many nights out we have planned for you all! 

Treasurer - Navneet Bhamra

I am the treasurer for LUDSS, this means I'm responsible in making sure there are sufficient funds to carry out the larger events we organise. Studying dentistry can be quite overwhelming at times and these societies aim to improve, develop and enrich the lives of students here at Liverpool - it's also a great way to socialise!

DH/DT Representative - Emily Dee

Hi guys! I'm Emily, the Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy year rep for LUDDS 2018/2019. I'm currently going into my second year and as the second ever DHDT rep I'm looking forward to really solidifying this new role. My job is to maintain and continue improving the vital links and communication between BDS and DHDT courses. We are a small but very friendly bunch who love getting involved in all the fantastic LUDDS events held throughout the year- never be afraid to come join us!

Sports Secretary - Colleen Donaghy 

Hi guys, I'm Colleen the athlete and your new sports sec for 2017/2018. My role in LUDDS involves organising sporting events within the dental school and encouraging the sports societies to develop by getting all you fresher gang involved! We will need your skills for sports weekend to represent Liverpool among all other dental schools, which is an event that occurs every year. Sport within the dental school is known to be fun, memorable and social where you can meet new people from other years. I'll make sure that it'll be the best memories you'll make during your time at Dental school. I look forward to meeting all you fellow athletes or nonathletes in September :-)
​See you soon x

Academic Representative - Alex Strang

Hi guys I’m Alex, your education sec/academic rep this year. That means I’m the guy to speak to if you need pbl notes or if you have any questions about pbl/exams in general. If I could give you some advice for first year it would be get involved with LUDSS through sports and events- the football team and nights out helped me get to know some great friends. I’d also say enjoy yourself but keep up with work- other years don’t let you make the most of cheap midweek student nights as much (I’m sure a lot of you won’t want to miss out on £2.50 doubles- rehydration sachets do wonders for the inevitable hangovers btw).
​Hope you enjoy the rest of your summers and look forward to meeting you all soon!

Social Secretary - Hannah McMullan

Hi I’m Hannah and I’ll be your social secretary this year along with Jaya! I love going out and having fun with everyone and thankfully that’s a big part of dental school life! We’re so excited to meet you all and welcome you into the dental school!

Social Secretary - Aidan Yates

Hola! I'm Aidan and I'll be your social sec next year with my flatmate Magee. We've got some big events in store for everyone so get your party hats on and make sure you get a LUDSS membership!
