This unique course is tailored to ENT doctors (Core Surgical Trainees, ST1 - ST6, Staff Grades, Associate Specialists, Clinical Fellows) who need training with nasal endoscopy, proper instrument handling and be equipped with the necessary building blocks to undertake endoscopic sinus surgery with finesse. 

The course aims to enhance existing competencies with particular emphasis on safe surgery for the maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses. Unlike other courses, advanced frontal sinus (e.g. drillout) and endoscopic skull base surgery techniques are not covered in this course. Thus, the programme provides ample time for paced, structured learning as well as close interaction with experienced faculty to achieve professional development goals necessary for all ENT trainees and generalists. 

The course programme is mapped to the ISCP curriculum and includes up to 10 hours in the laboratory. Delegates will have an assigned trainer throughout the course and are expected to be assessed against relevant endoscopic sinus surgery simulated PBAs on the ISCP curriculum. Surgical dissection will be undertaken on PHACON Sinus models in the state-of-the-art Karl Storz Training Centre.
