a very warm welcome from your new committee

Lady President - Amanda Tomany 

Hi I’m Amanda and I will be your Lady President this year alongside Jack. As presidents, Jack and I will be overseeing all the events that will be held this year and try to make you all feel as included as possible. First year is the prime time to get yourself integrated into the dental school and make lots of new friends so I would really encourage you to get involved in as many events as possible right from the start! I look forward to meeting you all in September and hope you are ready to begin the next chapter of your life x

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, and as you will come to know love a night out and can often be found in woodys singing a song or two. 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! And if you are ever lost on a night out- go woodys or Lagos where you will most likely find fellow dentists.

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!

It’s the only third year role on the committee and I work with Kajal to organise BDSA events, such as BDSA sports weekend and the BDSA conference. The BDSA events are fantastic opportunities to meet dental students from other dental schools! See you all in freshers week!

Senior BDSA rep - Kajal Kotecha 

Hey freshers! I’m Kajal and I’m the Senior BDSA rep! This year I'm organising BDSA Sports Weekend which is being held right here in Liverpool! As well as help to organise the BDSA Conference which will be held in Birmingham. They are both such good fun and really good opportunities to meet other dental schools.

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 - Neilan Mistry

Hello boys and girls, I’m Neilan (pronounced nil-an) and I am your 2018/19 sports sec. At LUDSS, we offer a wide selection including football, netball, hockey and athletics - everyone is welcome, we don’t take ourselves too seriously! I will be on hand to help integrate you freshers with all the sports teams, beginning with the freshers fair - more info to come. Sports in the dental school are the easiest way to meet new people and make friends throughout the years. To accompany, there will also be a number of sports socials this year so keep your eyes and your ears peeled! A few highlights from 2017/18 include the BDSA Sports Day, Alumni Sports Day, and the End of Season BBQ. I look forward to meeting you all this year.

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 - Jaya Walia

Hey everyone, I'm Jaya, I'm super excited to be your social secretary this year! I love going out and can guarantee you'll have some of the best nights out with LUDSS events. There's so many different events to suit everyone and I'm really excited to meet you all, you'll love Liverpool! See you guys soon!
