A Partner of AUGIS Dedicated to Benign Upper GI Surgery
Cholesafe 1.0
Aim
To establish a course that is universally acceptable and a gold standard for gall bladder surgery safety in the UK and Ireland
Key Objectives
1. Enhance Surgical Safety: Equip surgeons with the knowledge and skills to minimise complications, focusing on critical safety steps like the “Critical View of Safety” (CVS) technique.
2. Standardize Training: Develop a universally applicable, evidence-based curriculum that is adaptable across regions and institutions with transferable skills.
3. Validate Efficacy: Implement initial robust validation methodologies with the help of senior faculty with some trainee input to ensure the course is reproducible and reliable.
4. Foster Collaboration: Partner with upper GI surgeons, OG surgeons, HPB surgeons, general surgeons with upper GI interest and Bariatric surgeons, leveraging all-around expertise, networks, and resources.
5. This should result in enhancing the reputation and membership drive in the coming years
