Hi all! UNSW Surgsoc will be back with our very popular Basic & Advanced Suturing workshop on Tuesday 15th September. Whether you’re a fresher keen get some hands-on experience or a veteran looking for a quick refresher, then this is the event for you! All students are welcome regardless of previous experience!

The Basic Workshop will cover:
1) Sutures and surgical instruments
2) Simple cutaneous sutures e.g. simple interrupted, simple continuous, mattresses
3) Hand-ties

The Advanced Workshop will cover:
1) Sutures and surgical instruments
2) More advanced stitches e.g. running subcuticular, deep dermal, advancement flaps
3) Hand-ties

Everyone who attends will also receive a skills logbook containing basic information on suturing and knot-tying that you can refer to.

This is a sell-out event with limited spots offered on a first come first served basis.

Please note, you MUST be a UNSW Medical Student and can only register for one workshop (either basic or advanced). If you are successful in securing a spot, you will be contacted via email with payment options. Both basic and advanced workshops are $15 to cover the cost of materials. Your place in a workshop will not be confirmed until full payment is received within the due period, otherwise your spot will be offered to the next person on the wait list.

If you have registered and paid you will not be eligible for a refund under any circumstances. Please contact us if you have any queries!

Happy suturing!
