Essentials and Intermediate Laparoscopic Surgery for Gynaecological Trainees

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

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. 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.
