Well done to West Suffolk, in particular Jola Olugbemi, Krash Patel and Thomas Athisayaraj on completion of their first week of lap cases. Thanks to CMR for their ongoing support and their proctors. Nice to welcome Atanu Pal back as a proctor too.

Great to see another successful RoboPass course! RoboPass is a validated accreditation programme for fundamental robotic surgical skills. Huge thanks to Asma Afzal for organising, The Griffin Institute for hosting, and @drselvarajah.bsky.social and Prof Francis for sharing their expertise.
