“…The RANZCOG should consider a formalised anatomy training program, including structured teaching in and assessment of, pelvic and perineal anatomy. The value of any formalised training program should be objectively measured by pre‐ and post‐test scores and longitudinal follow‐up as previous assessments of RANZCOG course have demonstrated …”

“…In addition, it is not expected that all trainees entering a scheme should have the surgical skills necessary to work as a surgical consultant with only a limited number of procedures requiring mastery before receiving fellowship 5 . There are data to support the use of teaching, repetition and surgical exposure to improve surgical skills, 14–16 and it is out of the scope of this paper to discuss streaming of surgical training in our specialty, although it is apparent that preventing applicants from entering the program based on surgical skills alone is ill advised, given that we are not training all fellows to be surgeons.…”

A state-wide selection process offers a transparent and meritorious means of selection of trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology. It has significant advantages over an individual hospital-based selection process for both trainees and hospitals. Outcome data for the optimal trainee to be selected are difficult to define. Reporting and reviewing data with a national selection process are imperative. The current selection process does not address issues that may be important for selection such as manual dexterity or psychological preparedness for the speciality of obstetrics and gynaecology.

“…Hence, there has been a demonstrated reduction in major gynaecological procedures 6 and, as a result, there is now international concern 'that surgical training of obstetrics and gynaecology trainees is inadequate and that new specialists lack the confidence and surgical skills to perform the same breadth of procedures that previous generations did'. 7 The challenges of laparoscopy, combined with the reduced opportunities available for trainees to receive hands-on training, demands a paradigm shift in laparoscopic skills training.…”

Unique psychomotor and perceptual challenges of laparoscopysuch as marred depth perception, the requirement for advanced hand-eye coordination and the use of long instrumentsmean that laparoscopic trainees face a steep learning curve. The difficulties that trainees encounter in meeting required laparoscopic competencies may, in part, be overcome through the use of laparoscopic simulation training (LST), with benefits for trainees, patients, consultant staff and hospital budgets. There is growing evidence that LST improves patient outcomes, such as shorter operative duration, fewer intraoperative errors and cancellations, and reduced litigation. In 2017, the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy formally adopted the European Academy of Gynaecological Surgery's Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment programme; this programme is likely to play an increasing role in trainees' attainment and validation of laparoscopic skills. Learning objectives To understand the role of laparoscopic simulation training in modern gynaecological training. To know about the European Academy of Gynaecological Surgery's Gynaecological Endoscopic Surgical Education and Assessment programme. Ethical issues How does laparoscopic simulation training benefit patient safety? How can trainees' access to laparoscopic simulation training be standardised?

Basic surgical skills training: Does it work?

Abstract: First-year trainees' basic knowledge of electrosurgery, hysteroscopy and laparoscopy and the time to perform skills on a laparoscopic pelvi-trainer improved after a BSSW but there was no further improvement at 5 years.
