HoloMentor: A Novel Mixed Reality Surgical Anatomy Curriculum for Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

Objectives: The disruption to surgical training and medical education caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for realistic, reliable, and engaging educational opportunities available outside of the operating theatre and accessible for trainees of all levels. This article presents the design and development of a virtual reality curriculum which simulates the surgical mentorship experience outside of the operating theatre, with a focus on surgical anatomy and surgical decision-making.

Method: This was a multi-institutional study between London's King's College and Imperial College.

Bioethics and Environmental Ethics: The Story of the Human Body as a Natural Ecosystem.

Is there a parallel between climate change and our body's temperature or non-compliance and failure to act on global warming? This paper proposes a model which describes the human body as part of Nature's ecosystem. By utilising the power of observation to identify a problem, environmental and applied ethics can guide action and instigate change, not only to change the predicted plot of climate change, but also the wellbeing of humans in life's story. Through a discussion on human autonomy and lessons learned from the past, earth's inhabitants can identify a balance between beneficence and non-maleficence for themselves and our planet.
