Surgeons often think what they do is unique and special. As a consequence, the profession rarely looks beyond the walls, although we have been talking about the airline industry. Surgery can and should learn from other disciplines especially sport where mindset and attitudes play an important role in success.

Two of our Sensei are Master Divers. They will explore their journey and learning and draw parallels with surgery. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye - self control. situational awareness, preparation, equipment, communication and much more. We invite you to participate in this webinar and ask questions. This will be an immersion into an area that many would not have thought about; the deep blue and surgery!
