"I was never taught and I'm still scared of it. I only managed as an A&E SHO by either stapling it, or sending it to Plastics" - Anon, Class of 2010
This year, the medical school has kindly dedicated time within the Lab Medicine Course to allow an introduction to surgical skills in the first clinical year. We aim to prepare students so they are prepared with the basics when they hit their surgical rotations so they are better able to participate in theatre.
