Simulation training has become a vital tool for surgical skills acquisition, providing a safe, controlled environment where doctors can practice procedures without risking patient safety. We will examine how we can embed simulation training into the RCOG curriculum and will establish a Simulation Working Group to ensure equal access to training. In this episode, Hannah and Naomi discuss the second focus of the surgical skills project - Simulation and virtual learning - and what we will be working on in the next phase of the project.
