The BSGE is launching its prestigious training programme in conjunction with Olympus. Advance your Knowledge & Skills: Hands-on Learning Pathway for Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and  Retroperitoneal Surgery is a multi-modular education programme including online seminars, in-person training in suturing and dry skills and hands-on cadaveric training with a focus on retroperitoneal surgery.

The programme is for fully paid trainee members of the BSGE only. Members who are interested should complete the online application form by Tuesday 31 January 2023. Successful candidates will be notified by Friday 24 February 2023. When applying, delegates must have approval from their Trust to attend this programme and have the relevant study leave approved in principal. Attendance is mandatory, so delegates must also be available for all of the course dates.

The BSGE would like to make this programme available to as many trainees as possible. Therefore anyone who has previously attended an Ethicon/BSGE or Olympus/ST5+ programme in the past is not eligible to apply for this programme.
