Simulated competency based training is widely accepted as the future of surgical training, enabling the surgical learning curve to move away from the patient bedside and increase the scale at which we are able to train surgeons. Dr Elliot Street will present an overview of the main barriers preventing wide scale adoption of simulated competency based training. He will introduce the cutting-edge Augmented Reality technology that addresses these barriers and present the LapAR laparoscopic simulation platform that utilises this technology, bringing the future of surgical training into the present day.
