Queen Square Simulation Centre Cadaver Courses


The Queen Square Simulation Centre is proud to announce its inaugural Advanced Cranial and Advanced Spinal cadaver courses in July 2024, to be held at the UCL Anatomy Lab. They are funded by the London School of Surgery’s COVID Recovery Programme.

The courses will have two delegates per cadaver and a high faculty to delegate ratio, giving ample opportunity to learn advanced hands-on skills from eminent faculty from London and beyond.

The course is currently open only to North and South London trainees at ST5-8 level and is free of charge. If there is capacity, it will be opened up to others in due course.
