Monday 1st March 2027 - Friday 5th March 2027

Tuesday 17th November - Thursday 19th November 2026

This three day course, held in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre of the University of Liverpool is suitable for higher surgical trainees (ST3 or above or fellowship trainees) in Otolaryngology, although other grades are welcome.

This course emphasis will be on hands on open, endoscopic and microscopic dissection and practical teaching including an introduction to endoscopic ear anatomy/surgery.

Thursday 12th November 2026 - Friday 13th November 2026

This course is designed specifically for senior ENT surgeons (consultants, speciality or specialist doctors, clinical fellows, ST7–8 trainees) who seek to improve their surgical confidence and increase their repertoire of procedures; fulfil a requirement for annual appraisal, revalidation or GMC Portfolio Pathway; or simply need a refresher in sinus surgery.

The course programme aims to maximise dissection time and interaction with faculty in the anatomy laboratory. No distractions from trans-orbital approaches or extended endoscopic skull base techniques; just an emphasis on contemporary techniques so that you are able to perform safe endoscopic sinus surgery regardless whether you work in a secondary or tertiary hospital setting. You will also come away with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage rhinology emergencies and intra-operative complications.

Tuesday 13th April - Wednesday 14th April 2027

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.
