First of its kind centre in Kingdom

The first of its kind in Bahrain and one of the few in the region, the state of the art simulation technology is similar to those used in the aviation industry to effectively improve skills and knowledge of health care professionals. Guest speaker Dr Karl Miller, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Centre of Bariatric and Metabolism Surgery, told Tribune: “Simulation is absolutely necessary; it improves and enhances the skill of the surgeons and physicians. It also provides the simulation of difficult cases to help professionals have a better understanding. 

Simulation caters to challenging cases that are not routinely performed which is a great benefit for the patient.” “Studies prove that professionals trained in a simulator showcase better performance which results in better skill. In addition, we should utilise new technology that is used in other professions such as aviation and sports, a technology that can measure your improvement. C-SATS is a technology that connects the operating room with the world and other experts.

When performing surgery you get immediate feedback as well as simultaneously record your procedure. This permanent record provides data on your performance,” he added. The record of Medical history is clear on the power of research and training and its ultimately transformative impact of progress in human health. The 500 person capacity centre is dedicated to incorporating the right balance between basic science and science that makes an improvement in the health of the people of Bahrain.

“I first came to Bahrain in 2007, over a decade later I have witnessed tremendous improvement in technology and enhancement in skill training. The quality of surgery is outstanding, from the procedures to the equipment, it is world class,” stated Dr Miller “This is an outstanding training centre, I am a faculty member of many training centres in Europe and India and I can say that I have never seen this standard of training at the moment,” he added Crown Prince Centre for Training & Medical Research emphasises the management of health economy and development in medical informatics which will substantially increase the standard of health care in the region.
