Cutting Edge Laryngology Ergonomics workshop
Where Technology and Wellbeing Come Together
Ready to enhance your comfort, confidence and performance in clinical practice?
As part of Cutting Edge Laryngology 2026, we are delighted to partner with PENTAX Medical to offer a series of exclusive one-to-one ergonomics assessments for ENT professionals.
This unique collaboration brings together PENTAX Medical’s specialist knowledge of endoscopy technology and scope handling with professional physiotherapy expertise. The sessions are designed to help you understand how your technique, posture, equipment and working environment can support your comfort, performance and long-term wellbeing.
Whether you would like to improve your working setup, refine your technique or develop healthier working habits, this personalised assessment will provide practical guidance tailored to you.
The focus is not on creating a finished product, but on identifying meaningful problems and developing practical, evidence-informed solutions that have the potential to improve patient care and clinical practice.
Attendance is free, but advance booking is essential to secure your preferred time slot.
Who Should Attend?
The one-to-one ergonomics assessments are open to all Cutting Edge Laryngology 2026 attendees who perform flexible endoscopy as part of their clinical practice.
Whether you are a consultant, surgeon, trainee, nurse, allied health professional or another member of the ENT clinical team, you are welcome to participate, provided that you perform flexible endoscopy. Your session will be tailored to your role, experience and individual working practices.
