Category: Training - Core Surgery
Date: April 28th 2017 8:30am until 5:00pm
Location: Education Centre, Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton TA1 5DA
For all CT1 and CT2 Surgery-in-General trainees. The other course (which is in Gloucester) date is 3rd of March, 2017. The expectation is all trainees will attend both the Gloucester and Taunton clinical skills training days over their two years of Core Training. (Please also be sure to enter your email address correctly as you may receive course-related correspondence via that address.)
Also of note: For those attendees in possession of a laparoscopic trainer kit it would be greatly appreciated if you could bring it with you on the day. This will help eliminate the need for sharing kits.
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.
