Introduction: Surgery is a cognitive discipline whose practitioners characteristically use technology during operations for patients. With accelerating technological innovation throughout society and healthcare, we sought to develop a shared position for Irish surgery via a commissioned work programme by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
Methods: Using Stanford design principles, representative clinical specialty and academic leads and higher trainee representatives across 15 specialties were surveyed regarding sentiments, perspectives and concerns regarding now and near future technology in clinical practice, career considerations and training/education.
Introduction: The importance of patient perspectives is increasingly appreciated in clinical practice and academia with formal engagement processes developing worldwide. Digital surgery encompasses intraoperative patient data (including surgical video) analysis and so requires public-patient involvement (PPI).
Methods: Engagement events were conducted based on NIHR and GRIPP2 LF guidelines.
