This event welcomes junior doctors who are new to plastic surgery and aspiring medical students. The undergraduate curriculum sparsely covers plastic surgery which contributes to a lack of confidence when ‘starting out’. This Crash Course is designed to be a high yield, interactive, 1-day webinar that will cover all the key knowledge required to approach common plastic surgery presentations, including essential regional anatomy.

The content is directly relevant to the ST3 curriculum and will be delivered by Specialist Registrars and Consultants. The course aims to prepare attendees to be senior house officers, attend to get a head start!  

Additionally, the course will provide high yield teaching for junior doctors who are starting out in plastic surgery, covering all the basics in hand and limb trauma, soft tissue infections and burns. Suitable for foundation and core trainee level and the equivalents.

Benefits of attending:

  • Understand clinically relevant regional anatomy of the hands, lower limb, skin and soft tissues  
  • Know how to assess and initiate management for traumatic injuries of the hands and lower limbs
  • Find out how to assess and manage skin and soft tissue infection
  • Learn how to assess acute burn injuries and initiate management, including fluid resuscitation
