BAPRAS’ Course - Reconstructive Limb Surgery - 3rd & 4th October 2011

The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons is organising a course on reconstructive limb surgery, taking place this October in Manchester.

The course forms part of a series, aimed at trainees and new consultants, predominantly from plastic surgery, but with a slant towards other specialties dependent on the course. We feel that the reconstructive limb surgery course will be of particular interest to orthopaedics trainees and consultants.
