Who it is for

Hospital surgical departments.

MyCourse is intended for a hospital team with a defined laparoscopic biliary learning need. Depending on the scope, participants may include consultants, senior trainees and theatre colleagues.

The hospital identifies the appropriate attendees and ensures that each person works within their role, competence and local policies.

Course model

Hospital-led planning, consultant-led education and a scope agreed before delivery.

Subject areas

What can a hospital laparoscopic surgery course cover?

An agreed programme can cover laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, complex cholecystectomy and relevant theatre-team workflow, depending on which education need the host hospital selects.

01

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration

Operative-video teaching and case discussion may cover exploration strategy, choledochoscopy and escalation decisions.

02

Complex cholecystectomy

Teaching may address difficult gallbladder cases, biliary anatomy, operative decisions and complications management.

03

Team and theatre workflow

The programme can include the hospital's theatre team, local equipment and agreed working practices.

Teaching approach

Discussion, operative video and the local setting.

Teaching can combine structured explanation, operative video and case-based discussion. Where theatre-based activity is agreed, it must sit within the host hospital's patient-selection, consent, supervision and clinical-governance arrangements.

Format options

One-day, two-day or focused-topic formats.

01

One-day hospital visit

A focused programme planned around an agreed teaching priority and the host hospital's timetable.

02

Two-day intensive course

Additional time for structured teaching, case discussion and theatre-based learning within the agreed scope.

03

Focused topic workshop

A narrower programme for a defined laparoscopic biliary topic identified by the department.

Planning sequence

How is a MyCourse hospital programme planned?

The department defines its need, reviews the clinical setting with MyCourse faculty and agrees scope and responsibilities before dates are confirmed.

01

Your learning priorities

The discussion begins with the subject, the team's current experience and who may take part.

02

Your hospital setting

The hospital and faculty discuss facilities, equipment, timing, case availability and local governance.

03

An agreed course plan

Dates, content, responsibilities and any theatre-based activity are confirmed after the required local reviews.

To continue, visit the hospital planning page to see the people, facilities and approvals that help shape an initial course discussion.

Course questions

Questions about course scope and responsibility.

01Who is the course intended for?

MyCourse is planned for hospital surgical departments. The appropriate mix of consultants, senior trainees and theatre colleagues depends on the agreed topic and host-hospital requirements.

02Is the course delivered at the host hospital?

That is the proposed format. Delivery remains subject to an agreed educational scope, suitable facilities, faculty availability and the hospital's governance approval.

03Can a department choose the course focus?

Yes. The course can focus on laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, complex cholecystectomy or another agreed laparoscopic biliary priority.

04Does the website confirm CPD or accreditation?

No. CPD, CME, certification and accreditation are not currently stated for MyCourse. Check the course information again before relying on any future accreditation status.

05Who remains responsible for patient care?

The host organisation retains responsibility for clinical governance, patient selection, consent, staffing, facilities and care. Final responsibilities must be agreed in writing before theatre-based teaching.
