A University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) dentistry student is not only top of the class but top in the country after coming first in a nationwide test taken by newly qualified dentists. Matthew Davies was ranked first in a list of more than 1,200 dentistry students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who took the Situational Judgement Test (SJT), a mandatory exam for all newly qualified dentists.

The SJT is designed to assess each student's decision-making ability, ethical judgement and professionalism through questions based on scenarios they may come across during their career.
