Delegate Feedback
‘This course was excellent. It was one of, if not, the best practical surgical skills course I have undertaken. The faculty were enthusiastic and encouraging. The time for completing the operative skill exercises was just right. I enjoyed the discussions surrounding the operations we were simulating (i.e. the pre and post op considerations)’
‘Excellent course with knowledgeable, approachable and helpful faculty. Excellent models which helped to de-mystify some of the bigger operations within paediatric surgery.’
