ChairSafe alcohol free disinfectant is available in a 500ml spray, as well as a 200ml foam dispenser, 1L and 5L re ll containers and with the new Kemdent range of durable and economy wipes. ChairSafe adsorbs and penetrates into the cell wall of bacteria, fungi and the envelope of viruses. It attacks the phospholipid membrane, altering its structure-causing disorganisation and faults. Essential molecules begin to leak out from the cell rapidly reducing its action and destroying them. HTM 01-05 a guidance published by the DOH, recommends that Dental Chairs be cleaned between every patient to minimise the dispersal of microorganisms. ChairSafe products should be used for daily disinfection of surfaces close to the patient/frequently touched surfaces (e.g. dental chairs, door handles, and work surfaces).

He has successfully completed the Certi cate and Diploma level courses in the Restorative Dental Practice programme at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. “I started with the Certi cate course and it gave so much professionally, that I decided to continue,” says Dr Haddadi. “One of the things that I really enjoyed was the fact that you could bring in your own cases and discuss them with really skilled and experienced dentists and get a quali ed answer. “The Eastman has a really good reputation. I’ve nearly completed the MSc module with the Eastman and this has made it easier for me to get onto a part-time PhD programme here in Denmark, once I nish my MSc project, helping me to develop an academic career. “I would de nitely recommend the course because it’s really opened up not only new career pathways for me but also made me a much more contented dentist, and a far better dentist than I was.” Forfurtherinformation,pleasecontactVictoriaBanks,ProgrammeAdministrator, on 020 7905 1251, email v.banks@ucl.ac.uk or visit www.ucl.ac.uk/eastman/cpd Scrubwear becoming number one choice There can be no doubt that scrubwear is gaining in popularity all the time, and Grahame Gardner Ltd have seen a huge increase in the number of their customers that now choose scrubwear.
