2. Solving real life surgical cases including history taking and anonymised scans
3. Live virtual operations - showing step by step how common surgeries are carried out
4. Learning how to suture with a live follow-along demo (students will be sent their own suturing kit, the same ones used by medical students and doctors)
5. A chance for students to interact with practising NHS surgeons and doctors
It is an interactive course to give students a real taste of what it is like to be a surgeon and to be in the operating room using the latest innovative virtual technology. Students will also get a chance to learn how to suture with their own suturing kit. It is aimed at students aged 14+ who are interested in a career in Healthcare.
