David Utting:
Excellent course on Friday, thank you very much for organising.
It was an excellent overview of all things ectopic. Educational and informative and a great chance to ask the experts. I came away x10 more confident. It's important to discuss recognising and managing complications in class room. The best bit of course has to be the simulation models. With ever diminishing training time, simulation training has never been more important, and was good fun.
Hope some of those comments might be useful on your website.

Ectopic pregnancy study day was a very practical and hands on training course providing intense training in the laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy.The lectures in the morning session were very informative and well presented. The afternoon session was all hands on and the limited number of delegates allowed everybody to participate actively and practice all methods of laparoscopic management of ectopic pregnancy (endoloop, bipolar)

As two students from UCL we attended this course organised by Mr Irvine and his team of specialists.
Although not specifically designed for medical students we both found the day to be incredibly useful to both of us and would highly recommend it for those on placement at Watford General Hospital or any other DGH.
It was well organised and catered to the needs of a student preparing for their exams.
Dr J Sinclair:
- A well-organised course covering the main aspects of surgical management of ectopic pregnancy, with a general overview of the clinical management
- An excellent opportunity to practise general laparoscopic manipulation skills in the specific setting of ectopic pregnancy, skills which perhaps are difficult to practise in the hospital setting at SHO (ST1/ST2) level
- A good opportunity to familiarise oneself with several different methods of performing salpingectomy ie. both endoloop and diathermy, which is useful as different hospitals favour different methods
