Basic Laparoscopic Skills

Overview

This one day course is aimed at junior doctors around the level of core trainee 1 with an interest in General Surgery, Paediatric Surgery, Urology and Gynaecology.

The aim of the course is to familiarise the delegate with the equipment and instruments used in laparoscopic surgery, to allow simulation of manipulation of objects within a laparoscopic environment and to have the opportunity to practice simulated operations using a gallbladder and appendix laparoscopic training model.


What previous conference attendees have said:

• I enjoyed the simulated lap appendix and lap chole, and the teaching was of great quality.

• Facilitators gave adequate time to practice each stage of the course, with time at the end to revisit and practice specific objectives.

• It is a good opportunity to develop and practice lap skills in a simulated environment with the correct ratio of faculty to trainees, with the opportunity to apply skills to more clinical scenarios.
