Join us at the Queen Square Simulation Centre for a hands-on neuro-oncology course focused on the practical use of modern surgical adjuncts in brain tumour surgery. This one-day course is designed to give trainees meaningful hands-on exposure to technologies that increasingly shape day-to-day neuro-oncological practice.
The course is built around small-group, station-based simulation sessions covering 5-ALA–guided tumour resection, intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative neuromonitoring, diffusion tensor imaging, and minimally invasive approaches. Emphasis is placed on how these tools are used in real operative workflows, how to interpret the information they provide, and how they influence intraoperative decision-making.
All practical sessions are delivered with close faculty supervision, allowing time for hands-on practice, discussion, and feedback in a high-fidelity simulation environment. The course is aimed at mid- to senior-level trainees looking to consolidate their understanding of contemporary neuro-oncology techniques and translate them safely into clinical practice.
