Every surgeon remembers their first truly unwell patient — the adrenaline, the uncertainty, the weight of getting it right. Miss Christine Ang joins us to talk about how CCrISP and emergency simulation give trainees the closest thing to experience before the real crisis hits. Christine shares what she’s learned from directing the course, the barriers trainees face in the current system, and why simulation isn’t a 'nice extra' — it’s essential preparation for the realities of modern practice. Whether you’re early in training or decades into your career, this episode will change the way you think about emergency care.
