New Sales rep for Shofu
NEW ROLE
Former dental nurse Heather Macmillan has been announced as the new sales representative for Scotland at Shofu. After nearly 20 years of experience in the dental practice, she made the decision to take on a new challenge by switching to a career in dental sales. She has since worked with the likes of Coltene Whaledent and Align Technology before accepting this new Shofu role.
Having trained as a dental nurse in Glasgow, Heather went on to become certified in radi- ography and conscious sedation before changing her career. In her new role she will be responsible for providing customers with support and advice on the best Shofu products for practice or laboratory.
Clarification
In the April/May issue of Scot- tish Dental magazine, we ran an advertising feature for Impulse Dental Laboratory (page 55). In the article it stated that Stephen Heath was previously head ceramist and manager at Pearl White Dental Laboratory. It has been brought to our attention that this was not the case and, while he was employed by the laboratory, he was not employed in a managerial position.

Class of ’63 go back to school
Reunion. Golden jubilee celebration for Glasgow alumni G
lasgow Dental School played host to a Golden Jubilee celebra- tion recently
when the class of ı963 returned to their alma mater. The group were treated
to a day of classes and presentations including histology and the use of phantom heads to experience the latest in multimedia enhanced learning. The histology class took
place in the Dorothy Geddes Multimedia Laboratory, a high-specification installa- tion with support for virtual microscopy and an active 3D projection system, the first of its kind in the university. The phantom head class, sponsored by Ivoclar Vivadent, took place in the Pre-Clinical Skills Laboratory, where the group had a skills demonstra- tion using its state-of-the-art multimedia equipment. The alumni day was part
of an ongoing campaign to develop a stronger relation- ship between the school and its alumni, led by senior clinical university teacher Dr William McLean. The school’s magazine, Dental Mirror, has been re-established and will be published three times a year (
http://bit.ly/Gla-Dent- Mirror). Dr McLean said: “One of the
goals of resurrecting Dental Mirror was to re-engage with alumni. “We generally have fond memories of our alma mater,
but it is all too easy to lose touch due to our busy lives. It is shame that the relationship so often ends at, or soon after graduation. “The school also has a great
deal to gain from an active alumni group, but there is a genuine pride in the graduates that leave and an interest in their journey.”
