Chase Surgical
Mastering the fundamentals of surgery
Welcome
Chase Surgical Ltd was established by myself, David Luke. I am a Consultant General Surgeon in the NHS with a subspecialist interest in Colorectal Surgery, and my main elective scope of practice is inflammatory bowel disease surgery. I spent 20 years in the British Army, first as a surgical trainee and then a military Consultant surgeon and during this time had significant exposure to, and developed a professional interest in the surgical management of trauma and emergency surgery. My main educational interest is dedicated to training and education in early years Surgical Residents.
About us
Chase surgical now focusses on offering training in the fundamentals of General Surgery using low cost, highly effective simulation training. We develop and build our own low cost models, designed to facilitate training in specific skills. We run some face to face courses in Staffordshire, but in addition run virtual courses with the same kit which is sent to you at home. Our training is confined to UK Residents at present, although this will hopefully expand over time. Our YouTube channel (link below) contains instructional videos to use with the models, and we augment these with live interactive tutorials on MS Teams at specific times. In addition, we encourage delegates to send video evidence of them performing the procedures taught and we can use these to provide feedback via ISCP WBA tools.
Training design
We offer face to face courses in certain general surgical skills. These include foundation skills, such as suturing, tying, abscess drainage and excision of skin and sub cutaneous lesions, along with more advanced skills in GI surgical techniques. Our face to face courses run in Staffordshire however we also offer virtual courses using our YouTube channel with instructional videos augmented with live tutorials using MS Teams.
Ethos
Chase Surgical is committed to an ethos of focusing on the basics. We design and produce simulation models which we use in our video demonstrations and these are also available to UK residents who attend our face to face or virtual courses.
Our virtual courses are augmented by video tutorials along with Q&A sessions on Ms Teams with a Consultant trainer.
Upcoming face to face courses and availability of simulation models will be announce in newsletter and via social media sites.
