Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Global Rating Scale (GRS) score:GRS consisted of a 5-point scale that used seven-item behavioural descriptors (maximum score 40), and focused on the measuring the overall performance of the trainee rather than the specifics of the manual tasks. The GRS was chosen as it has been previously validated for objectively evaluating different anaesthesia skills.[Timepoint: Immediately after first teaching intervention & practice session and at 1 week immediately after second teaching intervention & practice session]
