About
Charlotte El-Sayed is an emerging surgical educator and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) and surgical training innovation. Based in the UK, her research addresses one of the most pressing challenges in modern surgery: the significant gap between the rapid global adoption of robotic surgical systems and the availability of structured, standardised training for surgical trainees. Her most influential contribution — a Delphi consensus study on a pre-procedural core robotic surgery curriculum (2023, 32 citations) — directly tackled the striking reality that over 70% of UK and Irish surgical trainees lack access to robot-assisted surgical training. By establishing stakeholder consensus on curriculum requirements, her work offers practical guidance to educational bodies navigating this training deficit. Complementing this, her systematic review on performance and proficiency metrics in RAS (2024, 16 citations) highlights the absence of standardised assessment frameworks, laying critical groundwork for future credentialing systems. El-Sayed has also contributed to national policy discourse through the ACPGBI position statement on robotic colorectal surgical training and the FOS:TEST Commission report on technology-enhanced surgical education. Together, her publications signal a researcher steadily shaping how the next generation of surgeons will be trained in an increasingly robotics-driven operating theatre.
