Verbatim
“I am absolutely 100% confident that the dental school will start and our students will have a great experience.”
“Most dental schools have a cohort of around 70 students and that's not a coincidence. Clearly extra students mean extra staff but that business model is tougher with a smaller number of students.”

Recent UK press coverage of their topics, not necessarily citing them directly.
Professors, researchers and think-tank analysts quoted on the strength of their research rather than a clinical role. Citations are counted by an automated scan of UK press coverage and may be incomplete. Roles, biographies and contact details are researched and human-reviewed before they appear here; anything not yet reviewed is simply absent rather than shown unverified.
