Help, I have created a MONSTER (wound)!
Managing wounds and large skin reconstructions can be extremely challenging. This course will help you to utilise wound management and skin reconstruction techniques to get those monsters under control!
This blended course combines online learning where we will discuss wound healing, how to manage open wounds and skin reconstruction techniques followed by a full practical day where you will be able to practise and consolidate this theoretical knowledge. The cadaver workshops will include tension relieving techniques, subdermal pattern flaps, axial pattern flaps and skin grafts.
This course consists of recorded webinars and a day of practical sessions.
Please note: The online lectures are a pre-requisite for attending the onsite day (these will be available to view approximately 4 weeks prior to the practical day). These lectures allow you to learn at your own pace and can be listened to at a convenient time. This allows delegates to have more time once onsite for practical, hands-on teaching sessions. On the practical day, the tutors will be happy to answer questions relating to the online lectures, however to get through everything planned for the practical day, they will not be able to cover the content in the same level of detail as the online lectures. It is therefore imperative that all lectures are viewed in advance of attending.
