Intermediate and Advanced Gynaecological Laparoscopic Surgery Course

This course runs once per year around the month of May/June.

This course has been approved by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and has been awarded 24 CPD points.

COURSE LEVEL - CT1 and above

If you wish to book onto both the Intermediate & Advanced Gynaecological Laparoscopic Surgery Course (£970) & Hysteroscopy and Endometrial Ablation Course (£450) which would be £1420, you will receive a discounted rate of £1200. Please complete both registration forms.

We have developed an intensive, four-day course focusing on key skills to intermediate level required for safe laparoscopic practice in gynaecology. This course has been redesigning, improving and successfully running for 5 years. The course has been carefully designed to maximize hands-on experience whilst in our centre. The course is equally suitable for the junior surgeons starting out in minimal access surgery and for the more senior surgeon who is either new to laparoscopy or wishes to refresh their key skills. Ample time for trainees to interact and discuss with experts of subject areas and close supervision from experts during hands-on practical sessions are provided.
