"Hands On" Gynaecological Endoscopy Skills Course for Nurses

With the widespread introduction of "minimally access surgery", not only in gynaecology but across many other specialities, the use of increasingly sophisticated equipment, and the importance of team-work, it became apparent that there was a need for comparable information and teaching for nurses involved with these procedures.

The aims of the "HANDS ON" GYNAECOLOGICAL ENDOSCOPY SKILLS COURSE FOR NURSES are to provide the knowledge to care for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery both in the operating theatre and the ward, to learn about the care and maintenance of instrumentation, and to gain an understanding of potential complications and their management. There is time for hands-on practice using models, and the Course also includes live operating sessions to see theory in practice. Although the Course is aimed primarily at nurses involved in gynaecology, it should also be of interest to those working in other areas of endoscopy.

Workshop duration: 1 day
Places per workshop: 9 full participants
Course fee for 2009: £100
