This hands-on cadaveric FESS workshop provides participants with exposure to some mandatory ENT Surgical Traineeship procedures using the latest highly specialised navigational imaging technologies. It will enhance participant knowledge of nasal sinus anatomy. 

This Department of Health WA supported workshop also features demonstrations by expert faculty utilising the latest 3D visualisation technology across a range of microsurgical procedures. It aims to improve surgical safety, operative confidence and procedural efficiency in a way that cannot be provided by routine surgical supervision or by other simulated environments.  

The sessions are fully interactive with a high ratio of faculty to participants. Knowledgeable faculty will provide superior training and immediate feedback in a practical and controlled workshop environment.  Limited positions are available for Observers and for Theatre Nurses in the role of assistant.
