Six Lapco Train the Trainer (theory based) courses were delivered virtually in partnership with medical device company Medtronic.
General, Colorectal, and Thoracic surgeons from Central Europe, the Middle East, and Africa attended courses run over two days (four hours each day) delivered by UK experts in minimal access surgery.
Mark Coleman (Lapco Trainer) said: “The programme was a resounding success. Far beyond what we expected. Of course, you can’t replace the benefits of face-to face training entirely, but the feedback we received from all the delegates has been excellent.
