Introduction to Surgical Skills

After the fantastic interest we received in our Future Surgeons course we will be having a talk and demo on Thursday 07/10 on surgical skills. It will be a great opportunity to gain some more knowledge of basic surgical equipment, practical skills and much more including some live demonstrations! We will also be discussing our plans for the semester with in person suturing skills classes to suit all skill levels from total beginners to the more advanced. There will also be an opportunity for attendees to practise some knot tying skills during the event, guided by our fantastic suturing and Practical Skill Convenors, Rebekah and Euan.
