As a CT2 trainee, you will have the chance to volunteer to take part in Anatomy demonstrating at one of the four Anatomy Schools in London. The anatomy demonstrator roles will be co-ordinated centrally by Imperial College London and delivered by the four Anatomy Schools.
All CT2 trainees are asked to attend 6 practical skills sessions, which cover key index procedures and are taught by leading consultant trainers. Skills sessions are run by Imperial College London and are held in the Paterson Building (2nd floor), St Mary’s Hospital, South Wharf Road, London W2 1BL.
To enable trainees to achieve the minimum of 80% multiple date options will be offered for each session. They will run on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons from 1-4pm. For ease of access and the need for last minute changes, an online booking system is set up, which will allow you to manage your diaries independently.
The topics covered will be:
- Hand-sewn bowel anastomosis
- Laparoscopic appendicectomy
- Stoma formation and siting
- Orthopaedic approaches to the lower limb
- Tracheostomy
- Basic vascular anastomosis
