About this event

  • Date and time Fri 3 Dec 2021 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm
  • Location Online
  • Organised by Laryngology and Rhinology

Most surgical events concentrate on the clinical matter at hand. However, in order to be a safe and effective member of a surgical team, it is vital to recognise what the non-technical aspects of surgical practice involve. This event will talk about these rarely addressed but practically essential non-technical aspects of being a surgeon. 

Topics of the event include:

  • Know about the psychological needs of surgeons as well as the leadership skills required to be a surgeon
  • Be able to use the lessons learned from surgeons as well as non-medical professionals to increase resilience, reduce stress and contribute actively to a multidisciplinary team

We hope you can join us in person at the RSM for this event, tickets are available to purchase here
