Gynaecological Endoscopy and Vaginal Surgery Workshops

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.
