| Biographical/Administrative Information: | Originally named The Liverpool Dispensary for Diseases of the Teeth, the Liverpool School of Dentistry was established in 1861 by Captain W. J. Newman. By 1863 his dental practice at 82 Russel Street was renamed The Liverpool Dental Hospital. The school was recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons in 1876 and in 1880, the hospital moved to 50 Mount Pleasant. This was the start of full-time students being taught at the hospital, which became associated with the University in 1899. The Dental School and Hospital on Pembroke Place was opened on 19 March 1910. The hospital fully merged with the university when the Louis Cohen Chair in Dental Surgery was established in 1920. W H Gilmour, the third dean, obtained the first professorship in dentistry in the UK. This school was later demolished to make way for the current dental school in 1969. |
