About
Jack Gorard is a leading figure in the field of robotic surgical education and patient safety, with a primary research focus on standardising surgical training and developing objective assessment methodologies. His most impactful work centres on the creation of a national, proficiency-based robotic surgery accreditation curriculum for the UK, a landmark study that garnered 14 citations and addresses a critical gap in formal, pre-clinical training pathways. By establishing an expert consensus on a modular accreditation system, Gorard’s work provides a foundational framework for ensuring safe and consistent robotic skills acquisition across surgical disciplines. Complementing this, his research on Objective Clinical Human Reliability Analysis (OCHRA) introduces an error-based assessment tool that offers an in-depth, standardised evaluation of basic robotic surgical skills, moving beyond subjective measures to quantify technical proficiency. These contributions are pivotal for advancing surgical training, with the potential to reduce operative errors and improve patient outcomes. Gorard’s work is essential reading for researchers and trainees seeking to understand the future of competency-based surgical education.
