Paediatric neurosurgical rotation or on-call can be daunting due to lack of patient exposure and conditions. It’s crucial for trainees to be equipped with the fundamentals of managing patients to safeguard and improve patient care. This course will enable ST1-ST6 and ACP’s the opportunity to optimise and enhance their learning in this area. For more information please email: [email protected]

During this 2.5-day course, participants will explore the trajectory, morphology, and functional anatomy of major white matter tracts, cortical structures and subcortical brain connectivity through hands-on white matter dissection labs, DTI-based tractography session, and interactive lectures. Additionally, participants will be introduced to brain mapping techniques, fMRI, neuroanesthesia and neuropsychological considerations.

The aim is to help to improve the ability to manage difficult and challenging cases in a simulation environment and share experiences with like-minded colleagues to gain further understanding and skills to manage situations expertly. Faculty will provide case scenarios in practical interactive workshop sessions and provide constructive feedback throughout. Contact: [email protected]

This cadaveric course is designed to teach endoscopic and open anterior and posterior approaches used in paediatric neurosurgery in the microsurgical cadaveric lab covering basic shuntology for paediatric hydrocephalus. The aim is to familiarise neurosurgical trainees, of any level, with common operative approaches in paediatric neurosurgery using frozen cadavers to aid anatomical understanding.

This is a bi-annual 3-day course at The Walton Centre, Liverpool, for FRCS preparation aimed at neurosurgery & T&O residents. The programme consists of interactive lectures, simulation, and 1:1 viva practice.
