3 Robots 1 course. ROBOstart: a new course for robotic beginners. Immersive labs with biodegradable hydrogel models Guy's and St Thomas' IMRA Surgical - also on Bluesky Huge thanks to Intuitive Medtronic Digital Surgery MedtronicEU CMR Surgical future dates tba Professor Tony Costello

Yesterday was a big day for my PhD - in Australia the robotic right hemicolectomy course, and in London the roboSTART course from IMRA Surgical - also on Bluesky - both multiplatform, using novel hydrogel models. Adding a lot of data for the ideal training design in multiplatform robotic surgery!


This weekend you can come get your hands on some robots (and experience a bit of multiplatform training in action) at the IMRA Surgical - also on Bluesky & Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research collab. I'll be training at the roboSET and assistant courses! See here and sign up: courses.imracademy.com

Wrapping up three days teaching and researching (and cuddling) with the robots and team IMRA Surgical - also on Bluesky at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research. Was a very special experience to be a part of and I have high hopes for the future of robotic surgery in NSW!



Taking tips for Edinburgh in May... big thanks to Robotic and Digital Surgery Trainee Committee for the invite to speak about multiplatform training! Anyone on the far side of the world who wants to hear my ideas check this out! asit.org/events/2024/ro…


It's trainees day today so this is an appreciation post. Although still statistically improbable all gen surg trainees at my current hospital are female (five SET trainees + our fellow too!!) All superstars 🌟 all fabulous humans 🥰 General Surgeons Australia RACSurgeons #ilooklikeasurgeon



On April 27th Follow @HSEMidWest 🇮🇪 we delivered the IMRA Surgical - also on Bluesky 🤖 right hemicolectomy course with built-in external validation research📊💩👩🏻⚕️.Through powerful collaboration, we continually strive for excellence in 🤖surgery training & delivery J Calvin Coffey Colin Peirce 1/3

Great start to the 🤖 Robotics for trainees conference 🤖 at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh today. 3 robotic courses running simultaneously this morning! Soft tissue with CMR Surgical, Intuitive and Medtronic UK. Orthopaedics with @BBraunUK @DePuySynthes Zimmer Biomet Stryker Surgical Technologies

IMRA is at the ASiT Robotics for Trainees Conference in Edinburgh today and tomorrow. We have several posters on IMRA researcher Kirsten Larkins will present with Consultant Urologist and robotic surgeon, Ben Challacombe on the Platform Agnostic Surgeon.


Only the tiniest bit jealous that my awesome doctor daughter Kirsten Larkins is giving an invited Keynote on her PhD research in Robotic Surgery Education in Edinburgh today. (One day I'll get to be keynote speaker...)
