Supporting Dental Hygiene and Therapy Students in Clinical Practice

Practice learning is a mandatory part of our Dental Hygiene and Therapy course and enables students to develop and demonstrate the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required for safe and effective practice.

This page provides clinical educators with the key University of Suffolk information and resources needed when supporting our students in practice. It brings together guidance on placement requirements, supervision and assessment, documentation, student progress, raising concerns and accessing University support.

It is designed to complement your existing professional knowledge and experience, while ensuring there is a clear and consistent approach between the University and our clinical placement partners.
