About the CPD course
Laparoscopic surgery is now the mainstay of most surgical procedures due its benefits – fewer complications; and quicker recovery. The skills needed for laparoscopic surgery require hands on training; development of ambidexterity; great hand eye coordination and depth perception; and the ability to work with minimal tactile feedback. The laparoscopic surgical skills course provides a learner oriented platform in which basic laparoscopic surgical techniques can be learnt in a highly supported; low stakes; friendly environment with a view of translation of skills learnt on the course to the theatre as deemed appropriate.
South Tees is the largest hospital trust in the Tees Valley serving the people of Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, Hambleton and Richmondshire and beyond.
The trust runs The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton. It also runs community services in Hambleton and Richmondshire, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland. It provides a range of specialist regional services to 1.5million people in the Tees Valley and parts of Durham, North Yorkshire and Cumbria, with a particular expertise in heart disease, trauma, neurosciences, renal services, cancer services and spinal injuries.
