We also have the following opportunities available:
- Courses held here, specifically for our Foundation Doctors,
include ALS and HAART (Hospital Acute Assessment and Response
Training). See more information in the Simulation Suite page. We have also
run very successful Surgical Skills &Foundation Skills for
Clinical Teachers courses and plan more Clinical Skills courses for
FY2s.
- We will shortly have updated video links with surgery, so that
procedures can be observed from our teaching rooms in real time.
This will include two-way audio communications, so that Q&A can
take place between the theatre and the trainees.
- Hospital wide teaching occurs throughout the week -
details are provided on an overview timetable and a more
detailed information sheet to reference.
