The PDSE has been nominated for its dental clinic for people experiencing homelessness. The clinic was set up to help address the issue of such people being less likely to access dental treatment, despite tending to have more acute needs than the general population.
The University of Plymouth has also been shortlisted in the Green Gown Awards Research with Impact category for an international project exploring traditional building methods.
Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony taking place on 8 November 2022. Good luck to all the nominees!
