Participants
Compulsory for all CT (including LATs) on the ‘SiG’ (surgery in general) programme. All SiG CT’s will have to attend a CT1 and CT2 training day in the relevant years through the programme.
Availability
Each core clinical skills day is run twice throughout the year to allow choice in attendance. (The other CT1 date is 15.04.2016 in Taunton).
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.
CT1 themes – Wounds, Stomas, Vascular anastomosis, GI anastomosis, CVP lines, USS guided breast biopsy, PR and catheterisation and laparoscopic skills.

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.
