Courses and events

Course Leaders: Sarah Russell, Caroline Rudoni, Andrea Benn

The LAPCO TT course is based on a two-day programme. The first provides interactivity and practical coaching rehearsal in a skills lab setting. The second day focuses on clinical coaching in the operative environment. Coaching skills are taught in an interactive discussion and are then assembled to enable situational training for surgeon.

The mock exam replicates the same condition as the actual exam which follows it around six weeks later. It is held under exam conditions in the Golden Jubilee Training Suite with current, senior examiners examining at every station.
