Consultant Colorectal Surgeon
A.S.Z Hospital Aalst, Belgium

The skills and insight gained in the training pathway will undoubtedly serve as a solid foundation to continue to build and refine my own surgical practice, aiming to deliver the highest possible standard of care for my patients. So once again, thank you, ColoRobotica, for your support and guidance. I am eagerly looking forward to what’s to come

Colorectal Consultant
Fife, Scotland

“I started my robotic journey in October 22 and was supported locally by Intuitive. I applied to the ESCP Colorectal Robotic Training Program. The program has been excellent and been very helpful with my robotic surgery journey to date. The initial modules reinforced the robotic principles and the video demonstrations were fantastic. The practical aspect of the surgery was focussed on with the simulation practice and tests and further supported by the hands on workshop.

 
Clinical practice was then supported by case observation and proctoring. These again were very helpful. I have now established my robotic surgical practice and work locally with a great team of clinical colleagues and theatre staff. My case outcomes which I have recorded through the program have been good and I am delighted to have passed my case video assessments.

Overall the ESCP robotic training program for me has been exceptionally useful and helpful. Many thanks.”

James Nicholson

Consultant Colorectal & General Surgeon
Manchester, England

“ColoRobotica has been an excellent opportunity and a comprehensive training pathway. Following the online modules, time spent at the ORSI workshop discussing robotics in a relaxed atmosphere with experts was invaluable.

After the workshop I started a series of proctored sessions in my hospital, they gave me the confidence to take on more complex cases and a network to ask advice. I would recommend ColoRobotica to colleagues without reservation. Many thanks.

“The ColoRobotica pathway has been invaluable for my surgical skill set and career aspirations. The hands-on training and expert mentorship have transformed my confidence and proficiency in robotic surgery, marking the beginning of a new chapter in my career”

Miguel León

“I was inspired to specialise in colorectal robotic surgery due to the transformative impact of robotic technology on surgical precision and patient outcomes. This training pathway is the ideal platform to align my career goals”

Kurt Van Der Speeten

Before this programme, structured training in colorectal robotic surgery was non-existent. The ColoRobotica pathway has been paramount, combining theoretical learning, cadaver workshops, and proctoring, all supported by data collection”
