Basic Surgical Skills Workshop

Overview

All Year 1 ITP trainees in Australia and New Zealand are required to complete a compulsory 2-3 day course in basic surgical skills.

The course is a practical, interactive one covering:

• principles of team surgery and theatre etiquette
• handling instruments
• knot tying
• incision and closure
• haemostasis
• episiotomy
• electrocautery
• hysteroscopy
• laparoscopy

Courses are organised in each Australian state, and New Zealand. All Year 1 trainees will be notified of the dates and venues of the course in their state/country, and will be sent registration forms and copies of the course manual.

All trainees are also encouraged to complete the Surgical Skills Survey. More
