Orthopaedic Intermediate Skills Training Programme - Session 1 (2018/19)

Trainee Comments from previous Orthopaedic Intermediate Courses:

• Excellent course allowing me to perform surgical exposures only previously know to me in theory from books.  A great way to actually learn the anatomy properly - hopefully making me more competent in day-to-day practice.
• Very useful for my development as a Surgeon to have practical experience of surgical approaches without risk to patients.
• I have never before in a course had the combination of learning about surgical exposures and performing dissection.
• Very useful practical sessions - hands on experience of less common approaches
• Very useful for my development as a Surgeon to have time to learn/develop surgical approaches in a safe environment.
• Excellent 1 - 2 ratio teaching
• Course has improved my knowledge of approaches / anatomy
• Enjoyed very much and extremely worthwhile.
• Excellent course - good for revisiting / refreshing anatomy knowledge.  Good practical sessions, have gained confidence in shoulder approaches especially.
• Very useful to have discussion with Consultants regarding their approaches to trauma.
• Good organisation.  Excellent facilities.  Good surgical exposures.
• Excellent facility, highly recommended course.
• Added bonus of trainees meeting up and working together
• Practical experience in surgical exposures that i would otherwide only get to do infrequently / never.  Lots of time alloted to go through all of the required exposures.
• Further development of practical / communication skills
• Direct exposure to anatomy - improved knowledge of approaches / anatomy
• Excellent course with excellent teaching!
• Very useful for me as an Orthopaedic Surgeon to understand, consolidate + pre course reading / examination approaches never had before in working environment
