Hosting the First Advanced Obstetric Surgical Skills Course – RCOG

Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) shared on LinkedIn։

“Last weekend, 2-3 October, we hosted our first Advanced Obstetric Surgical Skills course at the RCOG.

Developed in recognition of the increasing complexity of modern obstetric surgery and the need to support surgeons in developing advanced operative skills that underpin safe maternity care, the two-day course combined specialist teaching and virtual lectures with a full day of high-fidelity simulation and hands-on practical training.

The course gave trainees the opportunity to:

  • develop technical skills,
  • strengthen surgical decision-making,
  • build confidence in managing complex obstetric cases.

The hands-on element received particularly positive feedback from trainees, highlighting the importance of practical training opportunities in developing confident surgeons.

A trainee who attended the course shared their feedback:

‘The course has been a really incredible experience, and we’re so lucky to have world experts here, hearing directly from the people who have written the papers.

I’ve learnt so much from the lectures, but especially from the hands-on time, which is so crucial to our training.

Unfortunately, there is such a big gap in this type of training.’

The course forms part of the RCOG Surgical Skills Project and our wider maternity safety programme.

Through our role as an educator, from setting the curriculum to delivering exams, courses and events, we’re committed to ensuring ObGyn trainees have the skills, experience and confidence to provide safe, high-quality and compassionate care for women.

Thank you to all the trainees, trainers and everyone who attended and contributed to making the course such a success.
