Training
 
The North West Training Centre is able to provide training sessions which are structured with both ‘in reach’ (training at the trainers hospital) and ‘out reach’ (trainer travelling to the trainees hospital) sessions, and structured training plans will be required to be entered into scheduling these before training commences.  Both the locations which form the North West training centre have the benefit of stack systems with DVD recording media for all training episodes. In addition, Royal Salford has access to the supporting surgical skills training on site at ‘The Mayo Centre’ (see photo) and Mid Cheshire will offer access to a Laparoscopic Skills Laboratory for use by its trainees.
 
For more information on accessing training with the ‘North West’ training centre please contact the trainer as outlined above, or make contact with the Coordination Office of the National Training Programme
