Listen "Episode 4: Knot to be missed - The RCOG Surgical Skills Podcast - Reprioritising surgical training"
Episode Synopsis
Long gynaecology waiting lists, workforce shortages and the increasing complexity of surgeries have limited residents' exposure to surgical skills practice and training. We need to reprioritise surgical training through earlier focus on endoscopic training. by increasing adaptability in training and through investment in innovative technologies that support residents in accessing training opportunities. Simulation training has become a vital tool for surgical skills acquisition, providing a safe, controlled environment where doctors can practice procedures without risking patient safety. We will examine how we can embed simulation training into the RCOG curriculum and will establish a Simulation Working Group to ensure equal access to training.
In this episode, we discuss the third focus of the Surgical Skills project- Re-prioritising surgical training - and what we will be working on in the next phase of the project.
