7. Course Development and Educational Innovation

- Contribute to the design, development and continuous improvement of robotic surgery curricula.
- Develop course materials, training protocols, practical exercises and competency assessments.
- Incorporate adult-learning principles, simulation methodology and evidence-based educational techniques into training programmes.
- Evaluate course effectiveness through participant feedback, performance data and educational outcomes.
- Identify opportunities to improve the learner experience and clinical transfer of acquired skills.
- Participate in research, publications and educational projects related to robotic surgery and surgical training where appropriate.

8. Technical and Operational Responsibilities

- Ensure robotic systems and associated equipment are correctly prepared and operational before training sessions.
- Perform basic troubleshooting and coordinate technical support when required.
- Assist with instrument management, equipment preparation and training-room configuration.
- Ensure training environments meet applicable safety, quality and operational standards.
- Maintain accurate training records, equipment documentation and competency assessments.
