Please note that this is for students with prior experience suturing. The session will be expanding on simple interrupted and instrument tie techniques so students should be comfortable with these. Unfortunately we are only able to accommodate 30 students.

This event is made possible by the help of Covidien, who are donating the sutures and pork belly.
