a warm welcome from your new committee

Lady President - Simran Liddar 

​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 - Dilan Amin 

​Hey guys, I'm Dilan, and I'm the new President this year. Myself and the Lady President are the ones who are responsible in organising and overseeing all the events throughout the next year. Personally I've had such an amazing 3 years so far, and 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!

​​Hey guys! I'm Dapo and I'm from down south- London. My role in the LUDDS committee is secretary. As a part of my role it's my job to keep everyone up to date with all the events that go on in Dental school throughout the year. LUDDS is responsible for organising a wide range of events to including sports, charity and a number of social events with the major event being the annual dental ball. I'll be in touch through email so be sure to check them. Don't forget to check your junk mail because they could end up there!

​Hi I’m Eve and I’m your charity sec!
I’ll be organizing all the charity events for the upcoming year, like the annual bake sale for you budding Mary B’s and charity week, just to mention a few! There’s a lot of exciting things to come this year and I hope you’ll all get involved, to help LUDDS continue to make a difference with it’s amazing 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 - Holly Buckley

Hey everybody! My name is Holly Buckley and I am the very first DHDT representative on the LUDDS committee. Now all the DHDT students are in Liverpool it's really important for me to keep that growing link within the dental school. I'll be making sure DHDT students can make full use of what LUDSS has to offer and educating the BDS on our role within the wider dental team! We will be trying to organise lots of group events and workshops across the DHDT and BDS courses.  

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 - Faizan Ali

Hi, my name is Faizan and my role in ludds is ‘academic rep’ which is a new role this year so hopefully a few of my ideas can be put to play. At first sight I might seem as that guy to go to for notes and guidance for exams - you’re correct. I will be organising academic sessions for each year. Additionally I will also be working on inviting external guests as well as our own alumni and clinicians, who are willing to give hands on sessions sharing clinical tips and broadening our horizons on procedural techniques or to come and give lectures on topics such as BDS and beyond.

Social Secretary - Cameron Magee

Yo Yo freshers! Welcome to Liverpool Dental School! Aidan and I are going to be your social secretaries for this year. We are very excited with our line up of events which are sure to impress. Looking forward to meeting you all! 

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!
