The Eastman is the foremost centre for postgraduate education, training and research in the oral health care sciences in the United Kingdom and has over 50 years of experience in the development and delivery of education and training in all dental specialities. The Eastman has given the highest priority to Good Clinical Practice whilst maintaining its academic excellence and reputation. This structure means we are highly flexible in our approach to performing trials, both in terms of time-scale, cost and staffing. We are able to design and conduct trials to the highest standards with trained dental staff and internationally recognised clinicians and statisticians. Leading academics with track records in research, who have published in peer-review journals, are actively involved in all aspects of trial design, protocol development and clinical assessment.
Quality is our first and foremost consideration.
We believe that our approach to performing trials and pricing policies mean that we are competitive and able to start, complete, and deliver trials in time-scales comparable with those of the major clinical research organisations. The Eastman has an international reputation and is at the forefront of evidence-based clinical research and development. Leaders of the dental profession, outstanding clinicians, teachers and scientists of international repute are on the staff. Many are members of international and national bodies, editors of leading journals, and authors of major textbooks and research publications. The UK Government four-yearly national assessment of research ranked the Eastman Dental Institute in the top stratum in 1997.
