Guest lecture - University of Sydney DClinDent (Paediatric Dentistry) - May 2023

Today I gave a 2-hour guest lecture to the University of Sydney DClinDent (Paediatric Dentistry) students. It was organised by Dr Winey Wan who lectures at The University of Sydney and Charles Sturt University. The DClinDent students were undetaking the subject titled "Child assessment and Treatment Planning (DENT503). They had an interesting morning:

  • 08:30 - 10:00: Lactation - face to face with Helen Mercieca (CHW lactation consultant) and Mikaela Bow (CHW speech pathologist speaking on lactation specific to craniofacial/CLP infants) 
  • 10:15 - 12:30: Speech, language and communication - via Zoom with speech pathologist Prof Sharynne McLeod (speech pathologist) 

I really enjoyed discussing mouths, speech, language, communication and teamwork between dentists and speech pathologists.
