This is an intensive one-day workshop based at Barts Health Education Academy at The Royal London Hospital.
The aim of the course is to provide neurosurgery trainees with a fundamental understanding of the basics of endovascular techniques, taught by world-renowned faculty.
Neurosurgery departments care for patients who have undergone endovascular treatment but have a limited understanding of the treatment modalities and their practicalities. Understanding of such procedures will also become more pertinent if 24/7 treatment of neurovascular emergencies is taken up by neurological surgeons in the United Kingdom.
Lunch will be provided on the day and there will be a sponsored course dinner in the evening.
Limited places – first come – first-served

This endovascular trainer provides high-fidelity training that is evidence-based, with published face, construct and concurrent validity. The trainer allows the use of actual devices, allowing learners to experience the basics of realistic device manipulation. Medtronic will be supplying flow models, catheters, coils and stents for use on this course.
