The group, lead by consultant colorectal surgeon, Ole Helmer Sjo from Oslo University Hospital, were trained at the Pelican Centre at Basingstoke Hospital over two days involving a mix of classroom-based theory and live video streaming from the operating room.
Tom Cecil commented: ‘We are very pleased to welcome our Norwegian colleagues to the UK. The feedback we received from them over the last two days demonstrates the high standard and universal nature of our programmes. To share this internationally and have both patients and surgeons benefit from our research and skills is a key motivation for us.”
