Dental Tribune United Kingdom Edition

September 3-9, 201222 Education Tribune United Kingdom Edition page 21DT crisis situation as is possible to create. Delegates are able to deal with a medical emergency as if it were happening in their own surgeries. This learning experience has changed the way basic life sup- port is being taught. Delegates have expressed overwhelming gratitude for the experience, not only to learn the technical way of carrying out CPR but also to have the emotions and urgency that comes with a real life crisis situation. Delegates are able to re- view the way they carried out the management of the crisis by watching the automatic re- cordings that are created. This review process is carried out in a neighbouring classroom and is where most of the learning is carried out. Seeing oneself in action and performing a task well (or less well) is a great way of seeing, and of course believ- ing, what to do better next time or indeed, what had been done correctly and well at the time. Students can self-reflect on their practice against the the- ory learnt. Discussions can be held amongst the students and the Tutor is able to facilitate their learning by also giving feedback. Decontamination Suite Designed as a fully compliant, room The aim was to demonstrate what could be achieved in a den- tal practice, with all the legisla- tions and guidelines to consider. The suite has enabled, not only dental nurses, but also oth- er dental professionals to under- stand what needs to be done to achieve the best quality service for our patients. It also demonstrates the work load required from dental nurses before or after each pa- tient. The Decontamination suite is an eye opener to working practice and the knowledge gained will benefit all dental professionals. For anyone looking to design a dental decontamination suite in their own clinic it is a must see facility. Teaching and training in this important core CPD area takes place on a weekly basis, as it does for medical emergency training. LonDEC is fortunate to have expert tutors for its own courses and for London Dean- ery courses held at the centre . LonDEC can provide tailor made solutions for the full den- tal team and when the whole team do come along they are al- ways surprised by what a great learning experience they have had, what a great team bond- ing exercise it has been and also they often go away and re-write sterilisation and medical emer- gency protocols. LonDEC is lo- cated a short walk from London waterloo station in a building that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Courses can be put on at a time that suits in- dividuals and practices. Why not make a day of it and carry out true-to-life hands-on medi- cal emergency training in the morning, infection control training in the afternoon and then wander across Waterloo Bridge in to Covent Garden for all that the West End of London has to offer by way of shops, restaurants and theatre. The LonDEC staff will happily arrange the whole event, just let us know what you need and it will happen.
