AFTERNOON NOVICE SESSION IS SOLD OUT Running concurrently with the Anatomy sessions on Friday 31st October 2025, delegates will have the opportunity to take part in a specialised Robotic Skills Hernia Lab at the state-of-the-art IMRA Surgical facility in North Melbourne. Renowned for its innovation and commitment to surgical education, IMRA Surgical provides a cutting-edge environment designed to advance practical skills through immersive, hands-on training. This exclusive workshop will allow participants to work across three leading robotic platforms, offering a rare chance to experience the unique features and capabilities of each system. Delegates will also have access to IMRA's realistic hydrogel hernia models, widely recognised for their high-fidelity tissue simulation and anatomical accuracy — a standout feature in robotic surgical training. The lab will run in two tailored sessions: a morning session designed for advanced users, offering advanced skills training and complex procedural simulation and an afternoon session for novices focusing on core techniques and familiarisation with the platforms. This is a unique opportunity to elevate your robotic surgical capabilities in a focused, small-group setting with expert guidance. Spaces will be limited due to the hands-on nature of the lab.
