Events

Anatomy Module 2 (Abdomen and Pelvis)

PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO REGISTER FOR PHYSIOLOGY MODULE 2 ON THE SAME DAY (The other date for Anatomy 2/Physiology 2 is the 27th of November)

 

Participants

Compulsory for all CT1s (including LATs).

Availability

Each module for anatomy and physiology is run twice to allow choice for attendance. Please only book one option for each module. Each module only has places for a maximum of 18 trainees.

Registration

Via the School of Surgery website. Register below!

Objective

Anatomy and Physiology teaching to support learning for ISCP curriculum and for MRCS examinations. Emphasis is given to continuing professional education rather than ‘coaching’ for the MRCS examinations.

Dates

5 anatomy modules and 4 physiology modules are delivered on Tuesdays and it is advised that CT1s ensure that they combine anatomy and physiology teaching sessions. On the Tuesdays where anatomy and physiology modules are provided, it is recommended that the whole day be taken as study leave to allow for self-study and travel in the mornings.

Organisation

Anatomy and physiology teaching are linked by dates. CT1s are advised to take study leave for the whole day (except for the anatomy module 3 which is not linked to physiology teaching).

Curriculum

Anatomy: Abdomen and pelvis

Abdomen

• Anterior and posterior abdominal walls, inguinal region, peritoneal cavity
• The anatomy of abdominal contents (including relationships, blood supply, lymphatic drainage, innervation): oesophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, appendix, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, ureters and adrenal glands; the anatomical basis of arterial occlusion and strangulation of the intestines, intestinal surgery, portal hypertension, metastatic spread of cancer and referred pain (especially from the gallbladder and appendix), spread of infection into the subhepatic and subphrenic spaces
• Surface anatomy, in particular relation to examination of the abdomen and of the inguinal region for hernias
• Radiology, in particular: diagnostic images of the alimentary, pancreato-biliary and urinary tracts

Pelvis and perineum

• Pelvic bones, joints, ligaments; muscles of the pelvic side wall and pelvic floor
• Pelvic peritoneum and fascia; anatomical basis of ectopic pregnancy, prolapse and suprapubic catheterisation
• The anatomy of pelvic contents (including relationships, blood supply, lymphatic drainage, innervation): ureters, bladder, urethra, rectum, anal canal; internal and external genitalia (in the female: ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina; in the male: vas deferens, seminal vesicles, prostate)
• Perineum and external genitalia (vulva in the female; scrotum, testis, penis in the male); ischioanal fossa
• Anatomical basis of metastatic spread of cancer in the pelvis; rectal and vaginal examinations; urinary catheterisation in males and females; cervical smear

 

Preparation

Trainees are expected to read up and study on the module topics before attendance in order to gain maximal educational benefit from the teaching.

Refreshments

Core trainees are advised to bring their own refreshments or to make their own arrangements for food and refreshments during the 30-minute gap between physiology and anatomy modules on Tuesdays at 5pm. There are numerous cafes and sandwich shops in the vicinity that are easily accessible during the short walk from the physiology venue to the anatomy venues.

Travel

No car-parking arrangements are available at the University of Bristol and surrounding areas are for ‘residents-only’. There are NCP car parks available 10-15 minutes away by foot. Good bus and train links are available to Bristol and the University. Trainees are advised to plan their travel and if coming by car are advised to offer a lift to colleagues. http://www.bristol.ac.uk/transportplan/transport/

Attendance outcomes

A record of attendance will be kept by the Deanery. Attendance details are provided to your Programme Directors and will be assessed at the yearly ARCPs. Certificates will be provided for each module to trainees, who attend, for their portfolio.

Trainee feedback

Trainees will be asked to provide anonymised feedback on each module. This is important for the School of Surgery to ensure that the standards of delivery and content of the teaching is maximized for Severn School of Surgery core trainees in the future.

Non-attendance

Failure to attend a module requires a trainee to complete an explanation form which is available on-line at the School website and is returnable to Chad Elliott (Chad.Elliott@southwest.nhs.uk) at the School of Surgery.
