The primary aim of this course is to help to improve the ability to manage often difficult and challenging cases in a simulation environment and share your experiences with like-minded colleagues to gain further understanding and additional skills to manage situations expertly. In collaboration with B. Braun Medical Ltd, it is aimed at trainees, ST1-ST6, providing the relevant knowledge and skills to adequately mange neurosurgical on-calls and ultimately help improve patient care.

This course is aimed at ST3-ST8 level trainees and subspecialty (skull base and cerebrovascular) fellows. Teaching of the approaches are tailored to the specific needs and experience of the individual trainee. This workshop is co-organised by the east and west of Scotland training programs. The program includes complex surgical procedures which cannot be performed by trainees without prior cadaveric exposure. It covers the whole armamentarium of intracranial approaches and provides fundamental insight to very complex procedures. The focus is on enabling trainees to safely approach superficial and deep seated vascular and benign intracranial lesions arising from or being in proximity to the cranial vault or skull base. Trainees will gain a heightened appreciation of the critical structures encountered through these approaches.

A national, biannual course for neurosurgical residents preparing for the FRCS (SN) examination, focusing on head injury and vascular neurosurgery. Interactive lectures, simulation and 1:1 viva-style teaching emphasise practical, exam-relevant knowledge and areas not easily covered in textbooks. Previous courses have welcomed over 250 attendees, with strong national and international faculty involvement.

This 2-day course on Functional Neurosurgery covers both Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and stereotactic lesioning. All aspects of anatomy, patient selection, targeting, surgery, programming, follow up and troubleshooting will be presented by experts and pioneers in the field.

Don’t miss this fantastic two-day course featuring a comprehensive programme of talks and practical stations dedicated to vascular neurosurgery! Hands-on practical stations include both virtual reality and high-fidelity surgical models of aneurysm clipping, as well as cranial access and microvascular anastomosis skills.

This two-day advanced rhinology and anterior skull base surgery course at Cambridge University Hospitals, delivered with B. Braun Aesculap Power Systems, combines interactive lectures, case discussions and cadaveric dissection. Designed for experienced ENT surgeons and senior registrars, it offers intensive hands-on training through a 1:2 faculty-to-delegate ratio led by internationally fellowship-trained experts.
