This centre carries a formal licence from the Human Tissue Authority and, using cadaveric material, we have successfully run advanced training courses for surgeons regionally, nationally and internationally, representing multiple specialties.
Our particular focus has been in teaching the techniques of advanced minimal access surgery, using the most up-to-date technology in a purpose built environment.
