Surgical Education
Theorising an Emerging Domain
Chapter
This chapter considers how the landscape of surgical education has changed over the past century and how the educational certainties of an earlier generation have been supplanted by fluidity and instability. A...
Chapter
This exploration examines how clinical simulation, performed in hospitals as a form of training, can be understood as play, involving creating and maintaining fictions, role-playing theatrical characters and e...
Article
Roger Kneebone explores how lacemakers, glass artists and percussionists are sharing skills with researchers.
Chapter
In this we discuss how concepts of and interactive story-telling can be used to make sense of simulation-based . We argue that role-playing clinical situations affects how such situations can be made sens...
Article
This paper proposes simulation-based enactment of care as an innovative and fruitful means of engaging patients and clinicians to create collaborative solutions to healthcare issues. This use of simulation is ...
Article
Medicine is increasingly taught in immersive simulated environments to supplement the apprenticeship model of work-based learning. Clinical research on this educational practice focuses on its realism, defined...
Article
Current training modalities within ureteroscopy have been extensively validated and must now be integrated within a comprehensive curriculum. Additionally, non-technical skills often cause surgical error and l...
Article
An evaluation of an effective and engaging intervention for educating general practice (GP) receptionists about integrated care and the importance of their role within the whole system was conducted.
Article
Competency based surgical training uses proficiency of technical skills to quantify surgical competency. We believe this is an over simplification of what is required to be a competent surgeon. This work aims ...
Article
The base of all training in interventional radiology relies on the development of the core skills in manipulating the instruments. Computer simulators are emerging to help in this task with virtual reality sim...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) plays a crucial role for diagnosing anorectal and prostate abnormalities. Despite its importance, training and learning is limited due to their unsighted nature. Haptics and si...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Internal examinations such as Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) and bimanual Vaginal Examination (BVE) are routinely performed for early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. Although they are recognised as c...
Article
One important form of surgical training for residents is their participation in actual operations, for instance as an assistant or supervised surgeon. The aim of this study was to explore what participation in...
Article
The literature on simulated or standardized patient (SP) methodology is expanding. However, at the level of the program, there are several gaps in the literature. We seek to fill this gap through documenting e...

Chapter
Surgical education research is based more firmly in the social sciences than in the hard sciences because of the subject matters it investigates. This chapter introduces key features of some of the major quant...
Chapter
This book argues that surgical education is an emerging field, which is establishing its own identity. At present, however, the field’s boundaries are not clearly drawn. This indistinctness is both problematic...
Chapter
This chapter starts from the premise that simulation is a key element in surgical education, but that current approaches can lead to unhelpful oversimplication of the complexities of real world clinical practi...
Article
Little is known about acute stress in surgery although it is recognized to impair human performance in safety–critical industries. This study aimed to establish a direct empirical link between stress and psych...
Article
Stress can impair surgical performance and may compromise patient safety. This prospective, cross-sectional study describes the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the Imperial Stress Assessment Tool (IS...
