DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nDuration:\n2 days\, 8.15am – 5.30pm\n\n\nSynopsis:\nSynopsis: \nThis Royal College of Surgeons’ approved course has been designed to introduce surgical trainees to safe surgical practice within a controlled workshop environment.  It aims to teach\, assess and certify the ability of trainees to use safe and sound surgical techniques which are common to all forms of surgery. \n  \nThe course covers three main areas: \n–          Open Surgery \n–          Electrosurgery \n–          Endoscopic Surgery \nKey Benefits: \nThe Basic Surgical Skills (BSS) Course is strongly recommended for all surgical trainees who take up their first surgical appointment\, and is open to foundation doctors intending a surgical or surgically related career.  The course has been agreed on an intercollegiate basis\, and trainees who complete the course will be issued with certification which will be reciprocally recognised by all four Royal Surgical Colleges. \n  \nLearning Outcomes: \nBy the end of the course\, participants will: \n–          Understand and practice safe operating techniques\, gowning & gloving. \n–          Understand and practice the correct techniques for laying safe surgical knots. \n–          Understand the characteristics and handling of surgical instruments. \n–          Understand that careful and sound aspects of technique are more important than simple manual dexterity or speed. \n–          Understand the principles of handling tissues and recognise differing requirements for differing sites (e.g. skin\, bowel\, abdominal wall\, vessels and tendons). \n–          Understand and practice local anaesthetic techniques. \n–          Understand the principles of assessment and primary surgical management of infected and contaminated soft tissues. \n–          Understand the principles between open and endoscopic surgery including the manipulation of instruments in a three-dimensional surgical environment while viewing a remote two-dimensional image. \n–          Practice visuo-spatial awareness involved in depth cueing and the “fulcrum” effect of instrument manipulation.\n\n\nTarget Audience:\n FY1 – CT2 \nImportant Note for Candidates: There is limited availability for Advanced Practitioners\, or for those who work as part of an extended surgical team.
