THE BRITISH SOCIETY FOR GYNAECOLOGICAL ENDOSCOPY LAUNCHES NATIONAL LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTERECTOMY TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR CONSULTANTS: THE LAPHYST PROGRAMME IS STARTING IN EARLY 2016!

It is with great pleasure that the BSGE announces the launch of the National Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Training Programme (LapHyst) in partnership with its Industry Sponsors. The programme will include four modules, including one-to-one mentorship by a trained faculty member. These modules are:

Module 1. Self-learning module on theoretical aspects of laparoscopic hysterectomy
Module 2. Masterclass
Module 3. Dry Lab and Wet Lab simulation practice
Module 4. One-to-one mentorship at the trainees own hospital

The BSGE has started developing the Faculty which will be providing the training and the first cohort of six trainers have completed their Training-the-Trainers Course earlier this month.

The programme will be supported by a generous contribution from our Industry Partners and the selection process will be conducted in partnership with them. We hope to announce the first programme very soon and the members are advised to look out for the e-mail from BSGE.

With our best wishes,
