NHS staff can get a free copy of Surgeon Simulator 2

‘NOT a viable medical training tool’

UK developer Bossa of Surgeon Simulator 2 to all NHS staff members. And if you do work for that excellent organisation, all you need do is before October 22 and register your official NHS email address to receive a PC key for the wild ‘n’ gory sequel.

“At Bossa, we’ve always envisioned Surgeon Simulator 2 as a valuable training tool for NHS workers to hone their healthcare skills!” said Bossa co-founder Henrique Olifiers. “The Surgeon Simulator 2 community is frankly rubbish at saving Bob, so we think our players need to be shown how it’s really done.”

NHS registrar Dr. Idris Morgan t🍬akes a very different viewpoint.

“Surgeon Simulator 2 is absolutely NOT a viable medical training tool,” stated Dr. Morgan, before adding “However, I do enjoy playing video games in my spare time and I’m confident medical professionals around the world will find Bossa’s interpretation of medicine, and the possibility of five-second heart-transplants, very amusing.”

In addition to offering free games, Bossa will be hosting on October 15. The event, which aims to raise £1000 for the North Lincolnshire NHS Trust, will see a fully-qualified NHS surgeon, cardiologist, radiologist and IT specialist compete to perform a successful heart transplant in as quick a time as possible…

…in-game, I’m assuming.
