What our previous delegates have said: 

“The event fully met the aims and objectives of the course. Once completed I felt I had the baseline knowledge required to allow for good practice in the surgical setting. Excellent staff teaching and enjoyed having the kit reps there”

"I found it really helpful having lots of practical sessions to consolidate knowledge learned in previous stations - what I can imagine having a 'training list' is like”

“Much more confident with steps of IM nailing and decision making around it. Such a great course! Excellent mix of theory and practical”

Session will include: 
 

Interactive lectures on the principles of lower limb intramedullary nailing, complications, and case-based discussions.
