You don't train during a race, but before! In the Amsterdam Skills Center, surgeons and other operators from all over the world practice their surgical skills. "The training of surgeons, both during and after their training, must be faster and more efficient," says initiator and surgeon Jaap Bonjer, during the ASC's first lustrum. The essence of the Amsterdam Skills Center is that you can practice your surgical skills 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without the need for a patient.

Amsterdam UMC to use e-health tool to remotely monitor heart patients at home From today, patients and doctors at Amsterdam UMC's Heart Centre can make use of the app HartWacht (HeartGuard, in English) to supplement their care. Through the use of a small measurement instrument, around the size of a cereal bar, and a mobile app, patients can now have their blood pressure and arrythmias monitored at home. This means that patients need to visit their cardiologist less frequently. For doctors, this means they have more precise measurements and can act quicker where necessary. A ''win-win'' in the eyes of Michiel Winter, cardiologist at Amsterdam UMC and leader of this project.
