Over its three-year span, the programme delivered 34 expertly curated sessions, drawing a cumulative live attendance of over 3000 participants and maintaining consistently high engagement. With a focus on innovation, accessibility, and curriculum alignment, the programme covered a wide range of topics. Stand out sessions, such as ‘Orbital Trauma’ and the ‘Head and Neck Cancer Study Day’ achieved record attendance of 148 and 181 participants, respectively, highlighting the programme’s relevance and appeal. Feedback underscored the programme’s success, with attendees rating session organisation an average of 4.7 out of 5 and its impact on clinical practice and educational progress 4.5 out of 5. Interactive elements, such as quizzes and dynamic post-session discussions, encouraged active engagement and reinforced learning. A comprehensive online repository further amplified the programme’s reach, allowing participants to revisit recorded sessions aligned with the OMFS curriculum and supporting FRCS exam (Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons - Exit Exam) preparation. The seamless transition of FlexFacs to NHS England in July 2024 ensures its enduring influence on OMFS education. By addressing gaps in traditional training and equipping professionals through flexible, high-quality resources, the programme has established itself as a model for surgical education. Its legacy extends beyond its immediate achievements, offering a potential blueprint for future virtual learning initiatives across all surgical specialties.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55318,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 4","pages":"Pages 317-323"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143755691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to compare the economic and emotional implications of DO versus OS at an Indian institute. A total of 20 patients who underwent maxillary DO were compared with 20 patients who underwent orthognathic Le Fort I osteotomy. Sourced from the GSR Institute of Craniofacial Surgery database, patients completed a telephone questionnaire, via a translator, which investigated: return travel costs to hospital, length of hospital stay, Likert scales gauging mood and impact on daily life before, during, and after treatment. There was a marked increased mean length of hospital stay associated with rigid external device (RED) in comparison with OS by 70.5%. This is also associated with a greater mean total cost of hospital stay per patient, also by 70.5%. The mean number of visits to hospital postoperatively was over twice the number of visits for RED in comparison with OS, associated with a staggering 859.9% increase in financial burden on RED patients compared with OS with regards to mean total return travel costs to hospital. There was a 36.8% percentage change in impact on daily life scores for RED patients compared with 25.0% percentage change associated with OS. While DO appears advantageous, its economic drawbacks emphasise the necessity for a comprehensive evaluation of clinical and economic outcomes in low-resource settings. Limitations included challenges due to various regional languages and absence of pre-existing maxillary deficiency data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55318,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery","volume":"63 4","pages":"Pages 298-302"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
