36 NEWS Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 2/2018 Education initiative by King’s College London appoints Dubai-based Institute of Medical Aesthetics to jointly enhance skills of GDPs By King's College London King’s College London Dental In- stitute, ranked 2nd in the world for Dentistry (QS World University Rankings 2018), has made consid- erable progress in introducing its world-class education to the region by announcing a joint venture on two unique courses with Institute of Medical Aesthetics in Dubai. Aiming to enhance the skills of GDPs performing minor oral surgical pro- cedures at their own practices, the two upcoming courses, which in- clude a Minor Oral Surgery course, are expected to contribute to reduc- ing the number of patients referred to hospitals, by helping GDPs ac- quire the skills to deliver these often simple procedures at their own prac- tices. Excellent clinicians, outstanding UK teachers and exceptional facili- ties are involved with this initiative which reiterates Dubai’s commit- ment to become an internationally recognized hub for quality health- care and education. Bill Sharpling, Associate Dean for Continuing Professional Develop- ment (CPD) and Director of the Lon- don Dental Education Centre (Lon- DEC) at King’s, is delighted that this From left to right: Ms Servane Collette, Director, Institute of Medical Aesthetics; Mr Bill Sharpling, Associate Dean for CPD, King’s College London; Mr Nazih Khattar, Managing Director, Institute of Medical Aesthetics. initiative with the Institute of Medi- cal Aesthetics has come to fruition. Mr. Sharpling says “We look forward to working with IMA and running 2 jointly organised courses in 2018. These 2 and 3 day CPD courses, tak- ing place in Healthcare City, will en- able dental professionals from the Emirates and surrounding regions to see how King’s delivers its dental education. We’ve identifi ed Dubai as an important centre to hold our training and currently also teach some cohorts of our distance learn- ing master’s courses here, giving students convenience and fl exibility. We are delighted to have further op- portunity to provide positive learn- ing experiences and demonstrate the quality of education that under- pins our short courses and our mas- ter’s degrees available in all aspects of restorative dentistry.’’ Dr. Dilshad, CEO of the Avivo group of companies, says “IMA ‘s joint ven- ture with King’s College London is in keeping with IMA’s educational mission to extend international standards in the region, in medical fi elds that are in high demand. This venture also reaffi rms IMA’s large portfolio of courses which are now ranging from aesthetic medicine and dentistry to aesthetic surgery and anti-aging medicine. We are de- lighted to have the opportunity to represent King’s clinical and teach- ing excellence, and believe that the 2 short courses in oral surgery and aesthetic dentistry offered will be of unmatched standards.” The fi rst course in the series is set for April 21-23 in Dubai with an aim to plan for minor oral surgery pro- cedures, avoid surgical complica- tions and complex dento alveolar procedures associated with Dental Implantology.
