G1 trainees achieved significantly higher cognitive analysis performance scores for step-by-step knowledge of an open inguinal hernia mesh repair comparedwith trainees in G3 (p < 0.05) and G4 (p < 0.05). A similar significant finding was found for the general performance scores compared with trainees in G3 (p < 0.05) and G4 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The interactive simulator of the open hernia facilitates clear thought processes and improves surgical trainees' knowledge of the hernia procedure step-by-step compared to other more traditional ways methods. 0154: REVIEW OF SHAPE OF TRAINING (GREENAWAY) REPORT: THE WEST OF SCOTLAND SURGICAL TRAINEES' VIEWPOINT A.
