Participant Feedback

"Bar none, the best surgical course I have attended. In no other setting have I ever learned so many new surgical skills in such a short space of time and the quality of the teaching was such that what I learned won’t easily be forgotten", "Faculty were excellent and drew on personal experience - hearing from those working in other health care settings was very helpful", "This course should be mandatory for any surgeons involved in major trauma. I cannot recommend it highly enough"
