Project description
How to coach surgeons to always give their best
A surgeon is under a lot of pressure. Their performance is vital for the successful outcome of an operation. But even experienced surgeons cannot guarantee the highest precision performance every time. The question is why this is the case. What determines the optimal physical and emotional condition of a surgeon delivering an operation? The EU-funded TopSurgeons project will answer this question. It will focus on human and organisational factors that influence the individual surgeon’s performance. It will then develop a coaching programme for surgeons based on a standardised system that can be adapted to each surgeon's needs. Proposed solutions for optimal surgeons' performance resulting in best patient outcome will be tested experimentally to establish new evidence-based standards of surgical practice.
