ICENI CENTRE

The ICENI Centre is a purpose-built medical education and training centre based at Colchester Hospital. The centre delivers training on-site and remotely using state of the art augmented and virtual reality simulation equipment in robotic surgery, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, endovascular, ophthalmology and endoscopy. The quality of the courses available is widely recognised by healthcare professionals across the globe who travel to share their expertise and/or learn from our expert faculty to advance their practical skills, away from the pressures of a clinical environment.

The ICENI centre is equipped with cutting edge technology including the Intuitive Da Vinci XI simulation console; Inovus laparoscopy and hysteroscopy simulators; Mentice 7 endovascular VR equipment; EyeSi VR stack and; the Endosim endoscopy trainer. Through attending courses, trainees can track their performance through objective data that measures the level of skill set attained and practice complex technical surgical interventions.
