Our Basic Surgical Skills Training course was invited to deliver a pre-conference workshop at IMU on 11 September 2026, with an emphasis on the very basics — how to hold instruments correctly and learn to feel the tissues.
Our student SESI members came along as part of their own learning, gaining experience in how to teach and set up a workshop. We went bananas — quite literally, with our signature banana model at the heart of the session.
A quote from one of the participants,
“I just wanted to say your workshop was genuinely one of the most insightful sessions I attended, the ironing board analogy and the finger versus knuckles comparison gave me a completely new perspective I hadn't considered before”.
