Surgical skills centre launch event

The new wolfson surgical skills centre, phase one of the Eagle Project, was formally opened on October 17 2007  with a reception for invited guests including leading figures in healthcare. Those attending were able to witness first hand demonstrations of the innovative training techniques the new centre allows the College to undertake as well as gain an appreciation of the centre's scale and flexibility. The new level of interconnectivity and use of telecommunications technology in a real operating theatre environment is a first and was underlined by a message of support, broadcast live from surgeon Arjuna Aluwihare in Sri Lanka to the centre's video wall

To find out more about the launch, there is a streaming video and information about the speakers and surgical demonstrations
