Training the trainees with Versius
Training trainees in robotic surgery is a crucial process that requires a well-structured and comprehensive approach. Robotic surgery involves using robotic systems to assist surgeons in performing procedures with enhanced precision and control. Here are… Read More »Training the trainees with Versius
If we want to normalise robotic surgery into clinical practice, then we need to normalise robotic training
In my latest blog, I share my thoughts on training the trainees in robotic surgery, with valuable insights from our current trainees…https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/we-want-normalise-robotic-surgery-clinical-practice-need-vanash-patel
How a national robotics strategy will support future-proofing our NHS
Following an HSJ roundtable discussion I outline the case in the HSJ for a national robotics strategy that can democratise access to robotic surgery using West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust as an example. https://www.hsj.co.uk/technology-and-innovation/how-a-national-robotics-strategy-will-support-future-proofing-our-nhs/7034042.article
