Wetlab Ltd provided our services at the Society of Cardiothoracic Surgery Annual Meeting, this year at the ICC Birmingham.

The congress took place from 19th - 21st March with the Wetlab taking place on the first day.

The hands on sessions focussed on cardiac in the morning and thoracic in the afternoon.

Delegates got to rotate around each station and could try their hand at:

And also drylab and simulation that included:

The day was truly immersive and was an outstanding opportunity for participants to get a huge amount of hands on training on a wide variety in a short amount of time.
