Neurosurgery department of Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle is organising spine cadaver course since January 2016. It is aimed to give registrars and spine consultants access to Fresh Frozen cadavers to understand the anatomy better and to hone their surgical skills.
Such courses are immensely useful at all levels of specialty training and for consultants. I have found that these courses can be prohibitively expensive. My endeavour is to make it as cost effective as possible so that finance should not be a reason for not undergoing such a training course.
The aim of the course is
-
Effectively learn new surgical techniques
-
to become a more confident surgeon
-
to become a safer surgeon
I sincerely hope that you can take advantage of the next set of courses for the dates shown below. You can opt for one of the courses (course A or B) below.
Please fill form in the contact me section along with the course (course A or B) of your interest. Also, let me know if you wish to concentrate on any specific operative procedure and I will try my best to accommodate the request. There are limited spaces available.
