Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Thomas Charles Wood"
- Thomas Charles Wood's recent research emphasizes the critical role of non-technical skills (NTS) in surgical training, particularly in robot-assisted and ophthalmic surgeries, highlighting their often neglected importance in traditional training programs that focus primarily on technical skills.
- His work includes the development and analysis of simulation-based training models for managing specific intraoperative complications, such as posterior capsule ruptures in cataract surgery, which aim to enhance both NTS and technical skill development among surgeons.
- Wood's findings advocate for integrating NTS assessments into surgical education, proposing new scoring systems, such as the HUman Factors in intraoperative Ophthalmic Emergencies Scoring System (HUFOES), to better evaluate and improve surgical outcomes through comprehensive training approaches.
