The Shoulder Unit is pleased to announce that the 2nd "Surgical Approaches to the Shoulder & Elbow Course" will run on the 9th & 10th June 2010.
Limited to only 10 participants with a high staff/student ratio the course offers the chance to explore the anatomy of both the shoulder and elbow with reference to surgical anatomy.
Held in the Anatomy Department at St. George's University of London Softfix cadavers provide an excellent simulation of live surgery and the chance to examine the related anatomy.
Generous support from Biomet enables the participants to undertake shoulder resurfacing, elbow replacement and reverse shoulder replacement.
Places are available on a first come first served basis.
For further information please contact Debbie Garcia, PA to the Shoulder Unit, on 0208 725 2032 or debbie.garcia@stgeorges.nhs.uk
The cost of the course is £300 which includes all materials and food during the course. This is only possible with the kind support of Biomet.
Accomodation cannot be provided but we can advise on local hotels.
