Emergency dentists of the future could see themselves training in a new institution following the opening of a new unit in Hampshire.
The Royal Hampshire County Hospital has launched a new skills laboratory for dental professionals to continue their education, Dentistry.co.uk reports.
Comprising state-of-the-art technology and 13 KaVo medical stations, the £300,000 suite allows students to gain access to visual links to the demonstration.
The facility, which was opened yesterday (June 30th), also features a simulation suite for use by healthcare professionals across a range of departments.
Mayor of Winchester Barry Lipscomb was on hand to open the facility, alongside postgraduate dental dean for Oxford and Wessex Deaneries Helen Falcon.
"I am pleased that NHS South Central and Winchester Hospital have demonstrated their very real commitment to dental training in Hampshire," she remarked.
Manufacturing company KaVo provides dental equipment for surgeries, including specially-made cabinets to cater to the needs of the particular practice.
