Woburn House, London
April 20 2010

The now annual Medical Schools Council and Dental Schools Council Admissions Deans meeting was held on the 20th of April 2010 in London. Whilst representatives from all of the 31 undergraduate Medical Schools and 13 Dental Schools were registered to attend, an unprecedented closure of UK and overseas airports meant that all delegates from schools in Scotland and Northern Ireland were unable to attend.

This also meant a slight change in the scheduled programme, as Co-Chair Dr Keith Steele, Director of Admissions for Queens University Belfast and speaker Dr Jon Dowell of Dundee Medical School were both unable to attend. Professor Jon Cohen, Dean of Medicine Brighton and Sussex Medical School led an informative agenda exploring issues in undergraduate admissions including widening participation, verifying work experience and conducting interviews. Mr Don Spence of Birmingham Dental School stepped in to chair the panel session on conducting interviews.
