Heston® is normally to be found in countries affected by conflict or catastrophe, but last week had a little respite in a glamorous location in San Francisco. Here he is with two of our newest surgical faculty members - Tom Avery and Peter Tengberg who were talking about their recent work in Myanmar and Afghanistan respectively, to potential supporters.
Heston® now has a US stamp in his passport - his twelfth stamp - alongside all the other countries he has visited: Palestine, Ukraine, Moldova, Syria, Turkey, Yemen, Kenya, Iraq, Libya, Kuwait and Somaliland.
Our practicals centre around Heston®, our anatomically-correct human war wound simulator, which showcases a range of injuries seen in war, allowing doctors the opportunity to visualise wounds such as a head trauma or limb damage.
Heston is the only one of its kind, and later this year will be joined by Heston®2 - a similar model but with a uterus.
The design and creation of both Heston® and Heston®2 was pioneered by our Co-Founder David Nott with Max Campbell from Health Cuts.
