It worth celebrate.as the Queen Mary University has 40 years history.
Queen Mary University of London’s (QMUL) new dental school, embedded within the new Barts Health NHS Trust dental hospital in Whitechapel, houses the most
modern and technologically advanced dental facilities in the UK, following more than a decade of planning and work.
The new dental hospital and school will conduct world-leading treatment and research in areas such as maxillofacial surgery, facial trauma, haemophilia and
Bechet's syndrome.
The brand-new surroundings will mean a vastly improved patient experience for the local population, with increased privacy and dignity for those being
treated and enhanced infection control.
'Not only will the new facilities hugely improve the student learning experience, it will also enable us to build on our existing reputation for world-class research and innovation and excellence in patient care.'
Nearly half (46%) of five-year-old children in Tower Hamlets experience tooth decay – the highest rate of all the London boroughs.
Rates of oral, head and neck cancer in adults are also higher in Tower Hamlets than national averages.
Recently ranked the top dental school in the UK, QMUL will train around 400 dental students in the new facilities each year, making up an active part of the hospital’s clinical workforce.
'We hope the opening of the new dental school will soon pave the way for us to expand our educational offering for the next generation of dentists.
Occupying an area equivalent to almost three football pitches, the new dental hospital includes:
111 dental operatories with high-tech digital operation and lighting
22 self-contained rooms for complex consultations and treatments
State-of-the-art facial scanning equipment
Cutting-edge digital imaging technology
Sophisticated interactive teaching equipment including 72 technologically advanced patient simulation centres
32 operating microscopes to enhance operative capability
Superb laboratory facilities with CAD (computer aided design) and CAM (computer aided manufacturing) technology.
Improving dental health of the local community of Whitechapel and beyond is also central to the aims of the new dental school and hospital.
