Lady President - Manique Dosanjh

​Hi I’m Manique and i’ll be your President this year alongside James! We have lots of new and exciting events planned for you so there will be lots of chances to get to know everyone, especially at the freshers bar crawl! LUDSS have played a massive part in my three years here and we hope we will make your first year as memorable as ours, if not better! At Liverpool we have a wide range of activities for you to participate in, from Netball to Ladies Football, quizzes to nights out, so make sure you get involved in as much as possible from the start! Congratulations on getting into Dental School, we can’t wait to meet you all during freshers week!!

Top Tip: Make sure to get your LUDSS membership in September so you get discounts on all events including the annual ball!

Gent President - James Wootton

​Hi guys, I’m James and I’ll be your new president this year alongside Manique. Along with our committee we will be responsible for organising all the LUDSS events throughout the year including nights out, dental ball, dental talks, sports and games nights. As a grad I have had a slightly different path into dental school but LUDSS really helped me and so many others integrate with everyone. I would really recommend becoming as involved as early as you can with LUDSS as its such a great way to make friends and will make your time at dental school so much more enjoyable. I look forward to meeting you all in September for what I hope is a fantastic year.

Hi my name is Ben and I will be your social sec for the next year! As us already studying already know and those about to start are about to find out, dentistry can get stressful at times and throughout my years the socials have helped me relax and have been a big part of my university experience. Therefore i am looking forward to organising the socials next year and I hope I can bring a fun and relaxed vibe to them all.

Everyone is welcome- no matter your skill level, so don’t be afraid to get involved with whatever takes your fancy. Being involved in sports is a great way to meet new friends and makes settling into your new life at the Dental School that bit easier. Some things you can look forward to this year are: Dentist vs Medics sports day, alumni sports day, and the end of season BBQ. If anyone has any ideas about potential events or new sports teams feel free to get in touch. I’m looking forward to meeting you all!
