Offers bespoke courses and weekend CPD retreats
A state-of-the-art skills facility and a new programme of world class CPD has been launched at the Fitzpatrick Referrals Oncology and Soft Tissue hospital in Surrey.
The Fitzpatrick Learning Academy (FLA) offers bespoke courses such as the Surgical Reboot, as well as weekend retreats for first opinion practitioners who are unable to undertake CPD during the week.
Situated on the Surrey Research Park in Guildford, the FLA incorporates a custom built skills laboratory comprising the latest equipment and materials.
The FLA also benefits from the teaching of independent experts sourced from around the world, in addition to global leaders and specialists on site.
“The Fitzpatrick Learning Academy is the realisation of a dream to capture and distil years of varied practical experience and create an exciting new academic outlet to provide essential learning opportunities to interested professionals," commented managing director Professor Stuart Carmichael.
“The FLA is a source for new and innovative techniques and whilst not neglecting essential core skills, the academy will make these available as an invaluable resource to encourage good practice and clinical advancement in surgery to the ultimate benefit of our patients."
