You will be introduced to the clinical routines and should listen carefully to our staff who will try their best to support your clinical learning. You will have your first experience of orthodontic research and I hope you will find all of this interesting and rewarding.<\/p>\n I hope you will feel confident in your new environment and ready for the challenges ahead, however, do bear in mind that all the teaching staff are always available to support and help you in any way possible.<\/p>\n Orthodontics is a fascinating and rewarding area of study and to become a successful specialist orthodontist you will need the right attitude, skills and knowledge. On behalf of all the Orthodontic staff I wish you great success with your studies.<\/p>\n Yours sincerely<\/p>\n STEPHEN WARD <\/p>\n Mr Stephen Ward, Programme Lead<\/p>\n Tel. : 0161 275 6620<\/p>\n e-Mail: Stephen.Ward-2@manchester.ac..uk<\/a><\/p>\n Office Location : Coupland Building III (Wednesdays only)<\/p>\n Ms Mariyah Nazir Office Location: University of Manchester Dental Hospital, Floor 2.<\/p>\n Miss Kim Britt, Programme Administrator<\/p>\n Tel : 0161 275 6620<\/p>\n e-Mail : kimberley.britt@manchester.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n Office location : Coupland Building III<\/p>\n Ms Pauline Stringer, Clinical Reception<\/p>\n Tel : 0161 275 6668 For a full list of contact details, please see Appendix 2.<\/p>\n Feeling prepared and equipped at the present time inevitably brings thoughts of health and safety. We have followed the advice from Universities UK, Public Health England and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to make sure our campus is a safe and happy environment for you to start your studies. When arriving on campus, you\u2019ll notice the changes we\u2019ve made to keep everyone safe. For example, our buildings will have clearly marked entry and exit points; we\u2019ll be asking everyone to sanitise or clean their hands immediately on entry; and markings on floors, stairwells and doors will help maintain social distancing. Read our detailed safety guidance here.<\/a> As part of our University\u2019s commitment to keep all staff and students safe we are strongly recommending everyone on campus to download the NHS COVID-19<\/a> app It\u2019s important for everyone to follow the guidelines<\/a> on campus to keep themselves and others safe. We have faith that all members of our University community will do the right thing. You can politely remind people of the guidelines if they aren\u2019t following them. If you still have concerns, you can report these to our COVID-19 team via Covid-info@manchester.ac.uk<\/a> Breaches of COVID-19 guidelines may be subject to University disciplinary action. Our \u2018Staying Safe<\/a>\u2019 microsite outlines the safety measures that are in place as well as useful information regarding:-<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Student Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> is regularly updated online but if you can\u2019t find what you are looking for, please contact your school as soon as possible.<\/p>\n The Faculty has developed a skills training resource to support you through your postgraduate taught programme. This online material should supplement the assessed learning material and activities undertaken in your taught programme.<\/p>\n Introductory Course<\/strong><\/p>\n All students are automatically enrolled onto a number of introductory course units that provides information on health and safety, academic malpractice and academic literacy. Completion instructions for each of these units are clearly defined within the course. Completion of these units is mandatory for all students.<\/strong> All assessments must be completed as soon as possible after the programme begins, with the academic malpractice assessment completed before the first piece of coursework is submitted. Completion of these units is monitored by the School.<\/p>\n Accessing the online skills resource<\/strong><\/p>\n You can access Blackboard through the My Manchester portal (http:\/\/my.manchester.ac.uk<\/a>). The skills training resource is available in an academic community space available to all registered PGT students in the Faculty through Blackboard.<\/p>\n If you cannot see these units in your Blackboard please contact your Programme Administrator. <\/em><\/p>\n Teaching will mainly take place the University of Manchester Dental Hospital University Campus and the peripheral District General Hospitals.<\/p>\n This handbook includes information on the aims and objectives, structure, teaching and learning methods and management of the orthodontic clinical units and should be read in conjunction with the PGT Handbook.<\/p>\n 2.2. Aims and objectives of the Programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n The aim of the clinical unit is to give the student clinical skills and knowledge relevant to the diagnosis, treatment planning and clinical management of patients.<\/p>\n To educate graduate students to provide high quality care for patients with malocclusion.<\/p>\n To equip students with skills for critically evaluating evidence;<\/p>\n and to encourage a spirit of enquiry.<\/p>\n The clinical training part of the programme involves attendance at clinics in the University of Manchester Dental Hospital and associated NHS Hospital Trusts. During this time students provide treatment for a carefully selected group of patients under direct supervision of Consultant Orthodontists.<\/p>\n The programme is offered on a full-time basis over 36 months. See timetable for further information. Applicants admitted to the programme will attend for a minimum of 44 weeks in each year of enrolment.<\/p>\n Students will be given a personal cohort of patients ready to start treatment and some transfer cases already under orthodontic care.<\/p>\n Each student will start approx. 100 untreated cases and be expected to complete treatment of at least 50 cases.<\/p>\n Cases will be treated with contemporary fixed appliances, temporary anchorage devices, extra oral anchorage and rapid maxillary expansion. Some cases will require surgical and restorative involvement.<\/p>\n Disability Advisory and Support Service (DASS)<\/strong> The University of Manchester welcomes students with a disability or specific learning difficulties. The University has a Disability Advisory and Support Service, who can supply further information and DASS advisors will be pleased to meet you to discuss you needs. DASS will liaise with your School through the Disability Coordinator to make the necessary arrangements for your support during your time in Manchester. The DASS office can also provide a copy of the University\u2019s Disability Statement, \u2018Opportunities for Students with Additional Support Needs at the University of Manchester\u2019 which sets out the policy and provision for students with a disability.

This element will include tutorials, seminars and clinical demonstrations. You are encouraged to attend other relevant seminars in other clinical disciplines to gain a broad-based perspective to orthodontics.<\/p>\n Instruction will be given in clinical and laboratory aspects of Orthodontics. These will take the form of demonstrations, seminars and practical laboratory exercises.<\/p>\n Objectives<\/strong>:<\/p>\n More details of specific aims and learning objectives are to be found under the appropriate headings in Section 8.<\/p>\n 3.4.<\/strong> Research Unit<\/strong><\/p>\n Dissertation (60 credits)<\/p>\n Aims<\/strong><\/p>\n The aims of this part of the programme are:<\/p>\n Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n On successful completion of the programme, each student will have acquired:<\/p>\n The Specialty Clinical Unit is designed to encourage you to take responsibility for your own learning. The taught elements are based around small group learning, didactic seminars, practical skills training, online learning and student-led enhancement sessions.<\/p>\n Clinical teaching involves close supervision of a personal cohort of patients with severe malocclusions led by orthodontic specialists and hospital consultants.<\/p>\n The type of teaching and learning opportunities vary, and include tutorials, small group seminars, self-directed learning and laboratory tuition.<\/p>\n In addition, activities on the taught clinical unit are supplemented by:<\/p>\n The mandatory clinical training module that complements the MSc programme provides you with the opportunity to put the knowledge gained through the taught unit into practice on closely supervised clinics within the Dental Hospital and associated local Hospital Trusts.<\/p>\n During this time students provide treatment for a carefully selected group of patients under direct supervision of Consultant Orthodontists.<\/p>\n See Section Two of the PGT Handbook for further information.<\/p>\n 4.2. Content of Specialty Clinical Unit (90 credits) Teaching in the specialty clinical unit of orthodontics is provided throughout the programme. Instruction will be given in clinical and laboratory aspects of orthodontics in the form of seminars and practical laboratory sessions as well as clinical exercises.<\/p>\n Seminars will be planned and reading from the scientific literature on related subjects will be assigned, the aim being to expose the student to a range of topics in a short period. Students will be challenged to assess the available evidence and to determine the biological basis for acceptable and non-acceptable methods and techniques.<\/p>\n 4.2.1. DENT 60050 Basic Orthodontic Diagnosis<\/strong> (15 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n The aim of this first part of the programme is to ensure students have an ability to describe malocclusion and the skills to produce high quality patient records. Students will begin to build their orthodontic knowledge base and develop clinical skills compatible with the clinical progress of their patients. The beginning of the programme is busy with many conflicting demands on students to begin their research and scientific understanding but at the same time build the clinical case load and develop clinical skills.<\/p>\n 4.2.2. DENT 60051 <\/strong> Orthodontic Principles<\/strong> (15 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n The aim of this second part of the programme is to complete the content part of the academic programme. Through seminars, teaching, external courses and personal study students should have built up a knowledge base. Whilst continuing with the research and clinical learning<\/p>\n 4.2.3. DENT<\/strong> 60052 Reflective Orthodontic practice<\/strong> (30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n 4.2.4. DENT 60053<\/strong> Applied Principles of Orthodontics <\/strong>(30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n Units DENT60052 and DENT60053 include preparation for the summative assessment and a revision programme to ensure curriculum coverage prior to programme completion. The content of some of these seminars will be driven by the students and the final year includes preparation for the external Royal College assessment M.Orth, essential for inclusion on the specialist list.<\/p>\n The nature of orthodontic care means even at this late stage new clinical skills are being introduced however; confidence and proficiency will be developed in other areas. A high degree of professionalism is expected throughout the programme but at this stage these attributes are evidenced by the portfolio of cases produced by the students, the quality of diagnosis, skills in treatment planning and delivery, records of the cases, their analysis and understanding of the outcomes and the ability to recognise alternative options and areas for improvement.<\/p>\n 4.3. DENT60020 Dissertation (60 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n Each student must undertake a research project and a review of relevant literature, methodology and results presented in the form of a dissertation.<\/p>\n Guidelines for the preparation of a dissertation and the Notice of Intention to Submit form can be found on Blackboard.<\/p>\n Supervisors will discuss with the student suggested topics but students are also encouraged to suggest potential topics. As the dissertation must be completed within the time span of the programme, it is essential that the project is commenced early in the programme. As most of the second half of the last semester in year 3 will be taken up with examinations and writing-up of the dissertation, it is recommended that the presentation cases be completed prior to the middle of the second semester.<\/p>\n Regular meetings between each student and the member of staff nominated as his\/her supervisor will be arranged albeit it is your responsibility to request a meeting with your supervisor. These meetings are inevitably frequent in the early stages of the project when design and preparation work demands a high intensity of work. Each meeting must be recorded with outcomes summarised and objectives set for research to be performed prior to the next visit by way of completion of progress forms.<\/p>\n 4.4. Blackboard<\/strong><\/p>\n The Orthodontic programme also has an online presence via the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) known as Blackboard. The Blackboard unit is DENT77001<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Blackboard is a repository of the learning resources and will be used for providing programme-related information and announcements and thus students are expected to check their Blackboard space frequently.<\/p>\n Access to Blackboard is possible by using your central university username and password to log into the Student Portal at https:\/\/login.manchester.ac.uk\/cas\/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fmy.manchester.ac.uk%2F<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4.5. Laboratory Module<\/strong><\/p>\n You will be required to familiarise yourself with the laboratory techniques for fabrication of orthodontic appliances. Prescribed exercises are assessed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You are expected to be familiar with the technological aspects of removable appliance construction. You will be expected to be able to construct the following components to a clinical standard:<\/p>\n <\/a><\/a>5. <\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a>ASSESSMENT, PROGRESSION & EXAMINATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n See Section Five of the PGT Handbook 2020.<\/p>\n It is important that all students familiarise themselves with the University\u2019s Taught Masters regulations at the link below, a copy of which is on the Orthodontic Blackboard.<\/strong><\/p>\n DENT 61010 and DENT70001 – <\/strong> See Section Five of the PGT Handbook.<\/p>\n DENT60050 – Basic Orthodontic Diagnosis (15 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n An assessment at the end of year 1 consisting of:<\/p>\n DENT60051 – Orthodontic Principles (15 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n Assessment at the end of Year 2 will be in MCQ format with questions to test knowledge of orthodontics and application of knowledge to solve clinical problems.<\/p>\n DENT60052 – Reflective Orthodontic Practice (30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n Assessment at the end of Year 3 will be by a written paper using a short answer format.<\/p>\n DENT60053 – Applied Principles of Orthodontics (30 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n Assessment at the end of Year 3 will be<\/p>\n 5.1.4. DENT60020 \u2013 Dissertation (60 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n In order to progress to dissertation, candidates have to achieve a minimum of 120 credits in the taught component of the programme.<\/p>\n The dissertation must be submitted in accordance with University of Manchester prescribed guidelines.<\/p>\n See Section 3 of the PGT Handbook 2020 for further information.<\/p>\n Year 2 and Year 3 written paper examinations will be marked anonymously by two internal examiners (members of the Orthodontic team).<\/p>\n Any discrepancies will be discussed. The students\u2019 names will be revealed only when the marking of all the manuscripts has been completed.<\/p>\n Year 1 oral examination will be in the presence of one internal examiner (member of the Orthodontic team).<\/p>\n The Year 3 oral examinations are led by the external examiner (see 5.3. Examiner below) and the Programme Director.<\/p>\n Before they can be published to the students, all exam marks have to be ratified by the Postgraduate Taught Tutor at the Exam Board Meeting.<\/p>\n The Exam Board Meeting will be held immediately following the completion of all examinations for Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3.<\/p>\n The dissertations will be marked independently by two internal examiners, one of which will be the supervisor. Any discrepancies will be discussed. Once the internal examiners have marked the dissertations, these, together with the internal examiners\u2019 reports, will be forwarded to the external examiner for moderation.<\/p>\n N.B. The taught part of the programme must be successfully passed before the student may proceed to dissertation.<\/p>\n External examiners are individuals from another institution or organisation who monitor the assessment processes of the University to ensure fairness and academic standards. They ensure that assessment and examination procedures have been fairly and properly implemented and that decisions have been made after appropriate deliberation.<\/p>\n They also ensure that standards of awards and levels of student performance are at least comparable with those in equivalent higher education institutions.<\/p>\n The external examiner for this programme is Simon Littlewood.<\/strong><\/p>\n External Examiners\u2019 reports relating to this programme will be shared with student representatives at the Staff Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) where details of any actions carried out by the programme team\/Division of Dentistry in response to the External Examiner\u2019s comments will be discussed. Students should contact their representatives if they require any further information about External Examiners\u2019 reports on the process for considering them.<\/p>\n Please note<\/em><\/strong>: And the UMSU Advice Centre<\/p>\n (http:\/\/www.manchester.ac.uk\/study\/international\/why-manchester\/student-support\/student-union-advice-centre\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n In cases where a student does<\/em> contact an External Examiner directly, External Examiners have been requested not to respond to direct queries. Instead, External Examiners should report the matter to their programme contact who will then contact the student to remind them of the other methods available for students.<\/p>\n If students have any queries concerning this, they should contact their Programme Office (or equivalent).<\/p>\n The pass mark for the combined taught units (Research Methods, Biostatistics and the four specialty units) is 50%.<\/p>\n Candidates who fail one of the four clinical units detailed above may be required to resit that unit.<\/p>\n In the case of failure in the Basic Orthodontic Diagnosis unit, candidates who are required to resit this unit will have to submit a new clinical case.<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n 5.6. Student Appraisals<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> Feedback sessions with the programme lead will be held on completion of each module of the taught programme. The dates for these reviews can be found in the timetables.<\/p>\n Students are expected to attend all scheduled teaching sessions punctually<\/strong>.<\/p>\n A record of non-attendance and reason for non-attendance will be maintained and students giving cause for concern will be required to see the Programme Director. (See PGT Handbook 2020). Unjustified non-attendance is considered to be unprofessional and will be reflected in the periodic progress forms.<\/p>\n Holiday leave will, in general, have to be taken during the breaks in teaching.<\/strong><\/p>\n As you have a professional responsibility to provide ongoing care for your patients a maximum of 3 weeks continual holiday absence will be allowed. <\/strong><\/p>\n In all instances, the leave form (available on Blackboard) will have to be completed and approval granted BEFORE making travel arrangements.<\/strong><\/p>\n This is applicable for any leave even if it is only half a day. In the event of illness or unavoidable absence from a teaching session, students are required to inform Kim Britt by email before the start of the session.<\/p>\n It is important you organise your clinics effectively and inform clinical support staff if you will be absent at any time. <\/strong><\/p>\n A minimum notice period of 6 weeks will be required for cancellation of clinics due to leave or attendance at third party courses.<\/strong><\/p>\n In case your absence due to sickness is 7 days or less, you will also have to complete the sickness form (Self certification) and email a copy to the programme administrator. If you sickness is for more than 7 days you will need a certificate from your GP or, in case of hospitalisation, from the hospital consultant.<\/p>\n The Self Certification<\/strong> form can be found on Blackboard.<\/p>\n As you are provided with a cohort of NHS patients for your clinical training, it is important you act professionally and manage your clinical diary correctly. Complaints from patients will be taken very seriously and will form part of your appraisal as will feedback from nursing and clinical staff.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Absences from the clinic due to illness should be reported by phone directly to the Ortho Clinic Reception Desk (0161 393 7732)<\/strong><\/p>\n Students who are considered to be making unsatisfactory progress will be discussed by the Dental Graduate Education Committee (GEC). GEC will appoint a GEC Progress Committee (normally the Chairman, the Postgraduate Manager and the relevant Specialty Clinical Unit Director) and the student will be required to attend the duly convened Progress Committee meeting of the GEC.<\/p>\n The student may be advised that his\/her registration be suspended or terminated. (See PGT Handbook 2017).<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n 6. FEEDBACK<\/strong><\/p>\n The principles of feedback are as follows:<\/p>\n Examination feedback<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Feedback forms will be completed by examiners for all elements of accredited assessment and students are encouraged to make an appointment with the Programme Director via the Programme Administrator to discuss such feedback.<\/p>\n Feedback to Students Policy: http:\/\/documents.manchester.ac.uk\/display.aspx?DocID=6518<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n a) Formal:<\/p>\n There is an elected postgraduate student representative for postgraduate taught programmes in the Division of Dentistry on the Graduate Programme Committee.<\/p>\n b) Informal:<\/p>\n The small student: staff ratio on clinics means that problems may be discussed and resolved expeditiously.<\/p>\n See PGT Handbook 2020.<\/p>\n See PGT Handbook 2020<\/p>\n See PGT Handbook 2020.<\/p>\n See Appendix 1.<\/p>\n 11. SUBMISSION OF DISSERTATION<\/strong><\/p>\n See PGT Handbook 2020.<\/p>\n Whilst the programme is recognised by the UK Royal Colleges for Membership in Orthodontics examinations, the Orthodontic Specialty Training programme (with national Training Number) is designed for those who wish to undertake full orthodontic training by competitive entry via National Recruitment, organised by the London Deanery.<\/p>\n Please note that the MSc training programme does not have UK National Training Numbers (NTNs)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The broad contents of the programme are described below. The detailed content may vary from time to time in response to student needs and recent developments in the fields. The content reflects the Erasmus recommendations on European orthodontic courses.<\/p>\n Aim<\/p>\n The aim is to provide information on biological sciences relevant to orthodontics.<\/p>\n Objectives<\/p>\n At the end of the module the students should have an understanding of:<\/p>\n This includes:<\/p>\n Aim<\/p>\n To provide information on the development of the dentition.<\/p>\n Objectives<\/p>\n At the end of this section the student will have detailed knowledge of<\/p>\n Teaching activity : Problem-based learning, seminars, computer assisted learning.<\/p>\n Aim<\/p>\n To provide information on the physiology of tooth movement.<\/p>\n Objectives<\/p>\n At the end of this module the student should have detailed knowledge of<\/p>\n Aim<\/p>\n To provide information on contemporary orthodontic materials<\/p>\n Objectives<\/p>\n At the end of this module the students should:<\/p>\n![\"VUM](\"https:\/\/handbooks.bmh.manchester.ac.uk\/2020-21\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/vum-82-5.jpeg\")
