The course has been designed as a boot camp so that the new trainees have a short introduction of a wide range of techniques used in Cardiothoracic surgery.

Whilst over the next few days there will be a lot of classes focusing on the practical side of the specialty, it is also a fantastic opportunity for these newly appointed NTN ST3’s to spend time with each other talk to the consultants and ask questions about their career Cardiothoracic surgery.
