Overview

Introducing a new one-day, hands-on course dedicated to laying the groundwork for a robust surgical practice by focusing on essential skills for surgeons.

Our accelerated one-day course offered an introduction to core surgical skills while minimizing time away from the workplace. Designed to cover components assessed in the MRCS OSCE exam, this course follows a blended learning approach. Delegates will receive online learning materials in advance, followed by a one-day procedural skills course.
