Our second robotic themed course, BRiTS (the renamed ARTS Course), offers early experience to robotic surgery!

A Novel Surgical Training Solution
Anecdotal reports from junior doctors and medical students suggest that surgical skills and training have been severely affected by the current COVID 19 pandemic. Medical students are particularly vulnerable as they do not yet play a formal role in the medical service.

The London School of Cardiothoracics has set out to mitigate this by establishing remote surgical teaching sessions for medical students using the Rods and Cones Smart Glasses. and technology ecosystem.

Learn the fundamentals of cardiac critical care and intensive therapy with theoretical and practical simulation sessions on mechanical ventilation, long line insertions, pleural procedures, IABP, RRT, point of care ultrasound and more. Suitable for all junior doctors interested in a career in medicine and surgery. Priority to be given to cardiothoracic and anaesthetic/intensive care trainee and non-trainee junior doctors.
