Severn Deanery School of Surgery
The Vesalius Clinical Training Centre and the Severn Postgraduate Deanery School of Surgery have developed a collaborative venture that aims to provide high quality surgical skills training opportunities for trainee surgeons. The development of such training is enhanced by the excellent facilities, the provision of human and animal cadavers, the availability of senior clinical faculty, and the ability to provide anatomy teaching. This collaboration has supported the School of Surgery in excellent anatomy and skills teaching for surgical core trainees and specialty trainees across the Deanery, as recognised by GMC/PMETB trainee surveys. Feedback from course trainers and trainees include comments on the enhancement of courses due to the excellent provisions of fresh cadavers.
