A Week In The Life of a DCT... OMFS at Bristol with Safa Mohamed

Here's another entry for my DCT competition... with Safa Mohamed

Safa Mohamed, DCT2 in OMFS and Restorative at Bristol Royal Infirmary/Bristol Dental Hospital


I am currently a Dental Core Training 2 in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Restorative Dentistry at Bristol Royal Infirmary/Bristol Dental Hospital. My post consists of two six-month rotations, and I am coming to the end of my first 6 months in OMFS. I graduated from Kings College London in 2017, and then completed my dental foundation training in Buckinghamshire. Although I enjoyed my time in practice, I wanted to develop my surgical skills and gain experience in fields which I had limited exposure to as an undergraduate such as orthodontics. Following this, I did DCT1 in oral surgery, orthodontics and paediatric dentistry at Kingston Hospital & St George's Hospital. I currently work as a OMFS DCT at Bristol Royal Infirmary and no two weeks are the same! My rota is highly variable and below is an example of an OMFS DCT at Bristol. 


Monday: This morning I am assisting the associate specialist with their sedation list. This is an opportunity to gain experience in administering intravenous sedation and perform minor oral surgery under supervision. The afternoon session is spent on oral surgery clinic assessing new and follow up patients referred in for a second opinion/minor oral surgery. 

Tuesday and Wednesday: I assisted in theatres which means a 7:30am start in order to assist the registrar/consultant with clerking and consenting the patient. Tuesday's list included orthognathic and trauma cases. Wednesday was oncology cases. 

Thursday: I spent Thursday morning on urgent dental care assessing and treating patients requiring 'emergency' care e.g. dental trauma or facial swelling. I then travelled to South Bristol Community Hospital to assist in theatres for dento-alveolar cases. 

Friday: I attend the OMFS/Oral Surgery weekly team meeting. Following this, I assist on the OMFS consultant clinic in the morning and spend the afternoon in the oral surgery department performing minor oral surgery under supervision. 

Saturday: Off

Sunday Night: I am on-call Sunday and Monday night. On-call can be extremely busy or eerily quiet. The latter is always appreciated. During on-call, you complete ward jobs, firefight in Emergency Department and assist in emergency theatres. OMFS on-call definitely improves your organisational skills. My registrar once informed me that 'the first week is always the worst' after I had a challenging week of day on-call. 



There is no course or book that can truly prepare you for an OMFS post but you DO get into the swing of things and gain confidence with time and experience. It was a steep learning curve, but I was supported by my registrars and consultants throughout. I would definitely recommend during an OMFS post as you'll gain a range of transferable skills which will be of value if you opt to return to practice or pursue speciality training. I currently do not know what path I'll take in the futue, but I'm enjoying the journey and I'm excited to start the restorative rotation!




Thank you for your entry Safa. I hope you get a weekend off soon! Look out for still more entries to come. 

The Competition is now closed!

Winner to be announced in February

And GOOD LUCK!

  9. Did you suffer losses from the CanCap Crypto investment scam?

    Sadly, I was a victim of this CanCap crypto investment scam, and I lost $757,000 worth of crypto in 24 hours. I saw an article about CanCap Crypto on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I was deceived into believing I could invest in this scheme, but I ended up losing all my money. Not a while later, I found out that I was being scammed when I saw the news about the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) warnings about the CanCap Crypto investment scam. I was left wondering what had happened and how I could recover my money. A friend who works for the government of Alberta told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, which is a resourceful crypto recovery company. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who had already received several other requests to investigate and recover crypto from the same scam, while I was still in doubt if it could be done, Morphohack was able to recover my crypto investments from CanCap within 48 hours later. In light of the situation, I fully recommend the service of Morphohack Cyber Service while I encourage everyone out there to be careful of their crypto investments or seek help from a reputable and trustworthy source.

    The platform's performance began to plummet, and before I could react, my entire investment had vanished into thin air. I was stunned, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut. This wasn't just any money; it was the result of years of hard work and sacrifice.
    The reality soon set in: I'd been scammed. The disappointment and frustration were overwhelming, leaving me feeling helpless and shattered. My confidence in financial markets had been shaken to the core.

  11. I will never forget the harsh lesson I learned about the perils of investment scams. What began as a promising chance to boost my income through cryptocurrency quickly spiraled into a nightmare. I fell victim to a sophisticated scam and lost $78,000 in bitcoins.

Then, while browsing online, a pop-up ad caught my attention. It was for Morphohack Cyber Service, a team specializing in recovering lost cryptocurrencies. Initially, I was skeptical, wondering if it was just another scam. Yet, something about their promise of swift recovery resonated with me, and I took a leap of faith by reaching out to them. Their response was immediate, and within 48 hours, they accomplished the unthinkable: they recovered every last bit of my lost bitcoins. I was utterly stunned, relieved, and deeply grateful.

  12. My name is Alan Criner, and I'm a resident of Toronto, CA. I'm a 45-year-old financial analyst who has always been cautious with my investments. However, in my quest to diversify my portfolio, I fell prey to a devastating fake crypto investment scam, losing 125,000 Canadian dollars' worth of Bitcoin. This traumatic experience sent my life into a downward spiral, leaving me depressed and feeling hopeless.
    Despite my repeated attempts to contact the account manager who initially approached me on Telegram, I was met with silence. They refused to provide any explanation or information, and I was locked out of my account on their website. The authorities were unable to assist me, as the scammers were untraceable.

    Just when I thought all was lost, my nephew, a Canadian government lawyer, introduced me to Morphohack Cyber Service, a reputable private investigator and crypto recovery company. I visited their website (www . morphohackcyber . com) and, after mustering the courage, contacted them. They listened attentively as I recounted my ordeal and educated me on the scam, revealing that numerous others had fallen victim to the same scheme.
    Although skeptical at first, I decided to take a chance. Morphohack guided me through the process, instructing me to set up a new wallet. To my astonishment, they successfully recovered my stolen Bitcoin and transferred it to my new wallet. I was stunned, struggling to comprehend how this was possible.
    I initially wanted to keep this experience private, but I realized that there may be others out there who have suffered similar losses. If you're a victim of crypto theft, I urge you to reach out to Morphohack Cyber Service. They can be contacted through their website or email. (Morphohack@cyberservices . com, Info@morphohackcyber . com) Don't give up hope, there is a way to recover your stolen crypto assets.

Desperate for a solution, I researched online and discovered Morphohack, a company with a proven track record in cryptocurrency recovery. I contacted them, providing transaction details and screenshots. To my surprise, Morphohack successfully tracked down my Bitcoin, which had been transferred to multiple micro wallets, and recovered approximately $39,800.
