Each delegate will be provided with a laparoscopic box trainer package by the Deanery for the duration of the LTO programme tier they are allocated to and will be expected to attend all seven Zoom based online modules of the programme tier and complete the web based tasks by online video submission.
As a delegate you will also receive lifetime membership to the LTO programme's members area on the website which will boast a comprehensive library of surgical videos and course material and allows you to network with Surgeons within your Deanery.
