Overview

This one-day course will cover hands-on simulation looking at judgement and laparoscopic skills in relation to general surgical emergencies.

It involves a close look at decision-making in difficult clinical scenarios and takes this through to the extra operative skills and techniques which are sometimes necessary to deal with unusual or technically difficult situations. The course is a joint collaboration between the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) and the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ASGBI). If you are an ASGBI Member (and not a Member of RCSEd), please email education@rcsed.ac.uk to book your place at the discounted rate.
