Specialty Skills in Coloproctology Stage 1 (ST3-5)
This course has been developed in collaboration with the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland (ACPGBI). The course sessions focus on the evaluation and treatment of benign anorectal diseases, pilonidal disease and stoma surgery, as well as operative procedures on the abdominal colon including right and left colectomy and Hartmann's procedures. Emphasis will be placed on small group teaching and will be predominantly skills based with utilisation of both animal models and cadaveric dissection. This two-day course is aimed at trainees in general surgery who are in their intermediate years (ST3-5) and seeks to deliver the core skills in colorectal surgery as defined for that stage by the Intercollegiate Surgical Curriculum Programme (ISCP).

Participant feedback
"Particularly enjoyed the excellent anatomy teaching from Professor Mahadevan, as always he makes complex anatomy seem simple, reignites my enthusiasm for surgery and inspires me to learn. I thought his sessions at the beginning of each day set up the learning outcomes for that day very well."
