Pharmacy and Dentistry workshop

In a wonderful display of interdisciplinary education, Master of Pharmacy final year students, UDSS, UWA Dental School and ADAWA recently collaborated to host a workshop about oral health conditions commonly encountered at the community pharmacy setting. It was a wonderful event that was well-attended and is hopefully the start of more interdisciplinary events.
