THE LIVERPOOL HEAD AND NECK DISSECTION COURSE - OBSERVER PLACE

The Liverpool Head and Neck Centre is proud to host a two-day intensive hands-on course aimed at trainees in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery. The course includes instructional sessions, supervised cadaver dissection and expert panel discussions.

Course Description

The course will be delivered at Human Anatomy Resource Centre state-of-the-art facilities at the University of Liverpool. Under the direction and supervision of expert tutors, delegates will have the opportunity to revise anatomy and become better equipped to perform head and neck surgical interventions to a high standard. The focus will be on maximum hands-on dissection time to allow delegates to consolidate previously acquired skills and refine their operative technique. Dissectors will be able to have work-based assessments completed for the procedures covered. There will be 2 dissectors per Thiel soft-fix cadaver.

The course fee is £350 for observers (includes refreshments, lunch and a course dinner on Thursday 21st September).

The course is limited to 8 observers, and early booking is advised.
