Dental Tribune UK Edition, October 25-3, 2010, No.26 Vol.4

I attended the launch of Semi- nars@thirtyeight which is located at 38 Devonshire Street, just off Harley Street in the heart of London’s West End Medical District. It is an elegant Edwardian building steeped in medical and dental history, which has just been brought bang up to date with the launch of a dedicated conference suite on the whole of the lower ground floor. 38 Devonshire Street is home to a successful, private dental practice run by Gaynor Barrett, which has a number of large and beautifully appoint- ed and equipped dental consult- ing rooms, which can also be used for hands on courses, pho- tography (of special interest to me!) and filming. The seminar suite and prac- tice facilities offer an impressive and flexible venue to entertain and educate dental professionals with first rate continuing profes- sional development (CPD). More than 70 guests visited during the open event and we were told that a roster of elite lecturers drawn from Gaynor’s worldwide contacts had been drawn up and that the ded- icated suite would allow guests direct access to both speak- ers and sponsors in a way not possible with hotel or confer- ence venues, allowing them to interact in an intimate and less intimidating setting. In fact I was told it was the only seminar facility in the area which pro- vides the delegate or the compa- ny hiring it with a whole dedi- cated suite to configure in the way best suited to their needs. According to the new web- site, a Diplomate of the Ameri- can Board of Endodontics, Pirooz Zia, was the first to lecture in the new seminar suite before its official launch and he will be followed by high profile lecturers, includ- ing Jason Smithson who is running a hands on course on direct resin artistry and is supported by Nuview and Opti- dent in October and November and Professor Giovanni Zuc- chelli in 2011. Seminars@thir- tyeight plans to offer courses at various times during the work- ing week and at weekends with the aim of making high qual- ity CPD more accessible to both dentists and team members alike. I intend to run a hands-on Dental Photography course at the venue in 2011. I am told that after I left the atmosphere shifted and a pianist sat at a baby grand piano in the wood panelled reception room and entertained the guests to a jazz concert. At one point, one of Gaynor’s Associates, Emilliano Zanaboni, sang some operatic Italian arias to the delight of the crème de la crème of the medi- cal district who sipped Cham- pagne and toasted the success of the new venture.
