When the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and the University of Glasgow joined forces to open a state of the art Clinical Anatomy Skills Centre (CASC) 2 years ago, Peacocks were selected – after extensive assessment – to provide the surgical lighting solution for their state of the art new training facility.
Now that the Centre is open and providing courses, CASC has again turned to Peacocks - who have already supplied ten Mediland MediLED surgical light systems with HD cameras incorporated - to provide 5 additional mobile lights for the laboratories in order increase their potential for commercial activity.
So why did CASC choose Peacocks?
Mediland is a brand that Peacocks have partnered with since 2001. As the sole distributor for the UK with a widely established number of installations Peacocks have worked with Mediland to provide lights that, according to Sales Manager Henrik Nielsen, offer “a quality and lifespan that far exceeds expectations for the price point.
Peacocks has a good reputation within the sector for providing value for money products and an efficient, friendly service. These new lights for CASC are a testament to that”
Dr Frank Dunn, President of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow said of the facility; This Centre provides a state of the art facility for clinical skills and anatomy teaching and offers the most sophisticated level of training for surgical, medical and dental specialties”
Improving patient care
Because CASC is purpose-built, it is the newest of a handful of UK centres that are able to provide cadaveric skills training, research and development.
Professor Anna Dominiczak, Head of the University of Glasgow’s College of Medical, Veterinary, and Life Sciences said: “The skills developed and honed (here) will not only benefit the profession, but will lead to improved treatment and care of patients.”
The Centre runs training courses all year round, and is also available to hire by professional organisations interested in
- Training their staff in anatomical and surgical techniques
- Conducting research and development into new techniques and procedures
- Running courses and improving existing technologies
