The cadaver workshops will include excision of common skin masses, tension relieving techniques, subdermal pattern flaps, axial pattern flaps and skin grafts. This course will give you the confidence to customise your approach for each patient helping you to utilise wound management and skin reconstruction techniques to get those terrifying wounds under control.

Delegates will have plenty of opportunity to practice surgical techniques in a wet-lab setting.
