The ICENI Centre

Essex, England, United Kingdom

With multi-disciplinary medical training, innovation and research at its core the ICENI Centre’s mission is to provide local, national and global healthcare professionals the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills in a safe, stress free environment. The ICENI Centre aims to support this ethos by bringing together leaders from a range of medical specialities to share their expertise and to help develop skills through simulation courses using cutting edge technical equipment.

With the dawn of a new millennium Colchester was chosen to host the Association of Endoscopic (now Laparoscopic) Surgeons annual meeting, and did so again in 2008. The first purpose-built laparoscopic operating theatre in the UK was opened in 2005 and they established their identity as The ICENI Centre, but without a physical presence. Fortunately their activities in both teaching and research attracted the attention of Anglia Ruskin University, which resulted in a state of the art building for training, research and development. The new building was formally opened by the then Minister of Health, the Rt. Hon Andrew Lansley, in 2011.
