Saturday 6th of November (Orthopaedics), 20th of November (Plastic Surgery) from 10 am - 2 pm (UTC +1)
Who?
This course is aimed at junior doctors who want to improve their understanding and ability to manage commonly encountered orthopaedic and plastic surgery presentations.

What?
A one day focused course aimed at improving theoretical knowledge and surviving an orthopaedic and plastic surgery on-call shift.
Teaching will consist of a series of short lectures focusing on presentations commonly encountered by junior doctors with an emphasis on the areas they most often find challenging.
