These will be dedicated to the use of different techniques and hands on stations by experience senior UK-wide faculty. Case based discussion will be used appropriately.

This simulation will include endovascular techniques. The Cuschieri Skills Centre has pioneered the use of Thiel embalmed cadavers in Interventional Radiology and this is a unique facility in the UK. Using a cardiac pump, flow is achieved in the arteries of the cadaver and endovascular procedures can be simulated in a lifelike fashion.
