Nurses Endoscopy Workshop Programme

The programme for the nurse's course parallels our other workshops with a mix of short talks about the practicalities of endoscopic surgery, followed by training using models to give the delegates a "feel" for this type of surgery (this is the part of the workshop which is generally most enjoyed!). We encourage questions in the operating theatre, and we hope that by the end of the day, our delegates know how instruments are assembled, how all the equipment is connected, and what to do in case of some of the common problems that can arise in the endoscopy theatre.
