The Chancellor of the University of London, HRH the Princess Royal, visited the UCL Eastman Dental Institute for the official opening of a brand new clinical skills training facility. The visit was hosted by Professor Andrew Eder. The state-of-the-art facility includes a clinical skills laboratory, seminar room and clinical chairs with the latest equipment including microscopes, digital radiography and a cone beam scanner.

Professor Stephen Porter, Director of the UCL Eastman Dental Institute, and Mr Geoffrey Dunk, Institute Manager, together with senior Eastman staff also welcomed Professor Malcolm Grant CBE, UCL President and Provost, and Sir Graeme Davies, Vice Chancellor of the University of London. The Department of Health was represented by the Chief Dental Officer, Dr Barry Cockcroft CBE. Other dignitaries who attended were the local MP, the Rt Hon Frank Dobson MP, and the Deputy Mayor for Camden, Councillor Lulu Mitchell.

The Princess Royal gave a brief address on the important contribution that the Eastman makes through its research to the understanding of systemic diseases and the integral role of clinical skills training in developing knowledge to improve the oral health of the nation. She then spoke with graduate students, their teachers as well as the nursing and administration teams, and also some of those involved in the building and delivery of the new facility, before unveiling a commemorative plaque and signing the Visitors’ Book in the new training centre.
