Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], March 26 (ANI/BusinessWire India): For the first time in South India, Royal College of Surgeons of England partners with Rela Hospital, Chennai for an interactive course on "Care of the Critically Ill Surgical Patients" (CCrISP) and another course designated 'Systematic Training in Acute Illness Recognition and Treatment' (START) for the practicing doctors in the state.
It is noteworthy to recognize that the START course is being launched for the first time in India.

These courses are for pre-selected candidates who have completed their MBBS with an additional 2 years of surgical experience training.

This 2-day workshop is aimed to deliver/share knowledge, experience, and insights for the participating doctors to learn and develop skills to manage critical situations in surgery systematically. The interactive India's first START program is headed by Dr Stephen P Cavanagh, Consultant Vascular Surgeon at York Hospital, and the CCrISP course is led by Dr Rajesh Sivaprakasam, Consultant in Transplant, Access and General Surgery, Barts Health NHS Trust. Both the interactive courses were further supported by Dr Michal John Fried, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Critical Care Medicine, Chesterfield Royal Hospital, UK.
Prof Mohamed Rela, Course Director for India at Rela Hospital said, "We are proud to be leading this South India's first Initiative and I want to thank the Tamil Nadu government for encouraging such educational programmes for the medical fraternity. These interactive courses will go a long way to train budding surgeons from our state, eventually benefiting society at large. It is a huge recognition for us that Royal College of Surgeons of England has chosen Rela Hospital as its partner in India."
Highlights of the course include- Presentation of critically ill patients; formulation of a plan of action; prevention and recognition of complications; Interaction with colleagues; Communication with patients and relatives during critical illness and conducting a surgical ward round.
