Well organised and informative. A must attend for all trainees.
I really enjoyed the course! It was great because you had a cubicle to yourself with one-to-one support if needed. I was able to practise the tasks required for LapPass multiple times and was able to see my progression throughout the day. We even had the opportunity to even use silicone models to simulate an appendicectomy and go to theatre to practise diathermy! I'd definitely recommend this course!
Very well organised and run. The teaching faculty was excellent and overall very good value for money.
Excellent course with lots of hands-on opportunities and helpful tutors. Thank you!
Well organised with interesting simulation sessions . Highly recommended .

Excellent coverage of laparoscopic anatomy of inguinal hernia and hands on training by Dr Balachandra. I have gained confidence in performing laparoscopic hernia repair after attending this course and planning to start this service in my hospital. Thanks to the friendly theatre team for their support.
A very good course. Completely hands on course. Good discussion and explanation
A fantastic hands-on course. All my expectations of course has been surpassed by this interactive, intense hands-on course, comprehensively addressing BOTH TEP and TAPP hernia repair approaches Thoroughly recommended.
Attended the 16th Laparoscopic Inguinal hernia course at workshop. Its one of the best courses i have attended. The anatomy of the groin taught was a precise description which is always confusing . Then the practical demonstration of both the TEP and TAPP was fabulus by the instructor . The hand on practise by every member on the course was one of its kind. Saw around 15 live cases done by members on course and practical tips and tricks on every case was the true practial demonstration what to do in difficult cases . The informal chats on managing the hernia cases between cases was best sharing of knowledge and getting update in hernia surgery I have already recommended this course to my colleagues
The course was hand on as said. Focussed on the practical bits with essential anatomy. Consultant supervision without taking over the case was the highlight. Did not feel rushed. I Would come back and get hand on training for TEPP repair

Great one day course. Good faculty to delegate ratio, plenty of laparoscopic box trainers and lots of experience gained with laparoscopic suturing, stapling & energy devices. Fully recommend the course to anyone wanting to build on their laparoscopic skills.
Well done. Just some of the cameras were not up to the mark.
The Advanced Laparoscopic skills workshop provided me with lots of hands on experience throughout the day. I found this to be a really enjoyable and informative workshop. The faculty and workshop accommodated for all levels of trainees including an F2 like myself!. Many thanks for the course.
Really useful course with helpful faculty Woud be helpful to have height adjustable tables or small stool to stand on for us shorter people!
Excellent course, very well organized with excellent competent experienced faculty. I really enjoyed it. Thank you
Good course for doctors in early years of training.
Usefull course- I had the change to learn and practise the one hand suture tecqnique which was really helpfull. Also the bowel anastomosis section was usefull, but we needed one more hour to practise on them. I also think that the lower GI trainer should be more experienced, so we could spend less time in watching the tecqnique and more time doing it. Also, the pairing groups should be more equal as of training levels. But usefull course overall, worthing the time spend attending it.
