Participants
Compulsory for all CTs (including LATs) on the ‘SiG’ (surgery in general) programme. All SiG CT’s will need to attend both the clinical skills training day in Gloucester and in Taunton over their two years of core training.
Availability
The Gloucester and Taunton days will both be run once annually.
Objectives
Core skills days are linked to the ISCP curriculum and use simulation and seminar based formats to teach commonly used clinical skills. These can be linked to simulation based WBA’s and the main themes are consistent in the CT1/2 training days regardless of geographical location in which they are given.
Themes – Wounds, Stomas, Vascular anastomosis, GI anastomosis, CVP lines, USS guided breast biopsy, PR and catheterisation and laparoscopic skills.
Travel
No car-parking arrangements are provided at the venues. Most hospital venues have limited car-parking facilities. Good bus and train links are available across the Deanery region. Trainees are advised to plan their journeys to Surgical Skills Training Days in advance and if coming by car are advised to offer a lift to colleagues.
