F or the past three years LonDEC has been a cen- tre of excellence in its provision of post qualification education and training courses for Dental Professionals. These courses have principally focused on advancing existing skills and learning new skills via high-end hands-on training. The majority of courses held at LonDEC make use of the state of the art clinical skills training room that hosts the latest phantom head simu- lators, video operating micro- scopes and even a CAD teaching aid called PrepAssistant that can scan a single tooth preparation in a matter of minutes and gen- erate reports relating to how it compares to an “ideal” tooth preparation. Visitors and users of the dedicated dental educa- tion centre report that facilities within LonDEC are better than any they have seen locally, na- tionally or internationally. As well as having the 26 delegate capacity clinical skills training room LonDEC has a 65 seat lecture room, two seminar rooms that can seat 10 in each and a dental surgery set up for medical emergency simulation training as well as dental decon- tamination training suite. This article will look close- ly at the Medical Emergency and Decontamination training suite, which has been highly ac- claimed by many that have at- tended a course. Medical Emergency Suite This is LonDEC’s jewel in the crown and is home to the infa- mous iStan. iStan shares the fa- cility with LonDEC’s Simulation Suite Supervisor and Training Co-ordinator Kemi Bakare. For those who are unaware of this existing technology, iStan is a “living” manikin. He breathes, has a pulse, will speak to you and respond to your questions. Most importantly, if not cared for, should an emergency sce- nario occur, iStan will suffer the full consequences of an medi- cal emergency crisis – would you and your colleagues really know what to do if iStan had an anaphylactic attack, fit, sim- ple faint or even a heart attack whilst you carried out his dental check-up? Controlled by computer soft- ware iStan is a life size Human Patient Simulator. Using iStan’s truly life-like be- haviour enables delegates at- tending courses at LonDEC to see how they would actually behave in an as close to real life A centre for excellence Dental Tribune looks at the dental training facility at LonDEC LonDEC’s infamous iStan and LonDEC’s Simulation Suite Supervisor & Training Co-ordinatorKemi Bakare
