Testimonials
The Gordon Museum was an amazing venue. Food delicious each day! The surgical techniques taught have improved my surgical skills greatly. I also feel that I have extended my clinical knowledge in anatomy and patient consent. I also loved the BSDS booklet we were given and the online learning. Fantastic course.
The venue was fantastic and the teaching was delivered with real enthusiasm.
Excellent course and would recommend to all interested. Highlights - The Gordon Museum was a superb location for the training. Very much enjoyed presentation by Consultant Dermatologist in Anatomy and Physiology - extremely useful and very well presented. Day 2 Practical was excellent - many new skills learnt and speed of learning was perfect.
I loved that we had a high level of supervision during the practical sessions. All the advisors were excellent.
