    Overview
    Technical skills alone are insufficient to ensure optimal outcomes following surgery. The Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) Masterclass provides participants with a broad knowledge and practical experience of the non-technical skills that have been demonstrated to be essential for safe patient care. These include the cognitive and interpersonal aspects of operative surgery that are critical for optimising individual and team performance in surgery.
    Target audience
    Consultants and Senior Trainees in all surgical specialties.
    Learning style
    Participants are sent reading material prior to attending the course. The course gives participants practical experience of observing and rating non-technical behaviours. The format is centered on small group work and the use of simulated scenarios from the operating theatre and other industries.
    Learning outcomes
    By the end of this masterclass, participants should be able to:
    Discuss the underlying principles of non-technical skills which contribute to safe surgical care. Differentiate between four major categories of non-technical skills: Situation Awareness, Decision Making, Team Communication, and Leadership. Identify and assess surgical non-technical skills in a series of operative video simulations using the NOTSS taxonomy. Register
