University of Birmingham students win prestigious awards

Suzanne Noble, a third year mental health nursing student, has won Student Nurse of the Year: Mental Health at the Student Nursing Times Awards (SNTAs), while final year dentistry surgery (BDS) undergraduate Edward Newton has won the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and Dentsply Sirona’s national clinical skills competition.

Professor David Adams, pro vice chancellor, head of the College of Medical and Dental Sciences and dean of medicine at the University of Birmingham, said, “We are very proud of both Suzanne and Edward for their incredible achievements and their thoroughly deserved national recognition.

“It is the third year running that an undergraduate from the medical school has won an award at the SNTAs – a reflection of the quality and standard of tuition being delivered to our nursing students.

“Meanwhile, Edward’s success also illustrates the strength of partnership between the University of Birmingham and Birmingham Community Healthcare which enables us to deliver outstanding teaching at Birmingham Dental Hospital and School of Dentistry.
