This presentation will summarise the work Dr Papachristos completed as part of his master thesis, examining the experience of general surgery trainees with intra-operative learning. 

Associate Professor Ramesh Nataraja on 'Can Simulation lead to a Long-Term Change in Clinician Behaviour in Myanmar for the Treatment of Intussusception?'

Mixed methods study examining whether the application of a low-cost simulation-based educational intervention for the introduction of the air enema technique has led to a sustained change in both clinician behaviour and clinician outcomes in Myanmar. This technique is used for the non-operative treatment of an intussusception a common cause of bowel obstruction in infants.
