This two-day course is designed for surgeons, students or allied health professionals working in a particular speciality and/or at a particular stage in their careers. The course involves the use of fresh frozen cadaveric specimens. Clinical Anatomist John Sharkey (BACA and AS) will lead dissections identifying anatomy relevant to a wide array of surgical procedures on fresh frozen cadavers ensuring we preserve tissue planes while simulating the surgical experience. Surgeon's will appreciate that fascia is a vital structure and knowledge is required to reduce surgical insults and prevent nerve damage. Anatomical knowledge of fascia is necessary to protect, and, if damaged, reconstruct. Please keep in contact for additional courses and new dates.
