This two-day course is highly recommended for beginners looking to learn the fundamentals of minor surgery skills.
The course has been specifically designed to ensure practitioners meet the requirements of the 2014 DES Minor Surgery Contract. It has been approved by NHS England and formulated in line with the latest NHS e-guidelines.
This highly practical and interactive course also includes the Direct Observations of Procedural Skills (DOPS) Assessment, which is required by NHS England for all GPs applying to practise minor surgery in England.
The course counts towards CPD and provides supporting information for revalidation. Participants will receive access to course presentations to aid learning, along with a certificate upon completion.
Our popular minor surgery courses use state-of-the-art models, instruments, and simulated tissues to provide full hands-on training alongside theoretical sessions.
THE USE OF PORK
Please note for suture practice we will be using pork belly, as trainers have advised that this is the closest replica to human skin. If you do not wish to work with pork for religious or personal reasons, please let us know no later than 2 weeks before the event date and an alternative will be provided.
