In association with FESSH, the BSSH is delighted to support a series of weekly webinars to assist our hand surgery colleagues in Ukraine during the present humanitarian crisis. These will be each Thursday evening from 18:30h (GMT) or 19:30h (CET) or 20:30h (Ukraine). The first of these multi-national webinars will be this week on Thursday 24 March 2022, and will last approximately one hour.
Each webinar will include time for our colleagues in Ukraine, who may be dealing with complex or extraordinary hand trauma / pathology, to present cases for further discussion and debate. The series will begin with the theme of extremity war injuries. Further topics will be announced later, but we hope to cover other useful themes such as: compartment syndromes, nerve & vascular injuries, external fixation, soft tissue cover, burns & blasts, infection, rehabilitation, and resuscitation.
We will continue to look for ways in which we can express solidarity with our colleagues and friends in Ukraine, and we hope sincerely that this collaborative effort will bolster and aid their efforts to deliver safe and first-class hand trauma care.
