Our immersive programme places you at the heart of the operating theatre using the latest virtual reality technology. You’ll gain expertise in the rapidly developing area of laparoscopic surgery – as well as bowel anastomosis – and develop your confidence in clinical settings. Laparoscopic surgery is a technically demanding area of medicine and few people have the necessary expertise to work in this area. This course allows you to learn complex skills that are in high demand. Our programme provides you with a unique opportunity to practice and perfect laparoscopic technical skills in the low-stress, high-feedback environment of our Virtual Reality Surgical Simulation Centre. You’ll gain all the training you need to meet the standards set by the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland to obtain your LapPass (the ‘Laparoscopic Passport’). Gaining a LapPass means you’ll have a benchmark qualification that recognises your laparoscopic skills in a simulated environment.
