Participant Feedback
'Participating in the advanced laparoscopic/bariatrics course helped prepare me for work as a Specialist Registrar in a busy bariatric unit. I gained valuable insight into the surgical techniques used in bariatric surgery and the logistics involved in setting up an obesity surgery service. The course provided an overview of the problems obesity holds for the health service and the challenges that this patient group presents'.
