This course will discuss the fundamental principles of microsurgical anastomosis, flap designs and tendon repairs. The theoretical component of the course will be delivered via Zoom on Wednesday 10th July 2024 (1800-2100 hours), and the practical component will take place at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Cardiff, Cardiff Bay on Tuesday 16th July 2024 (0830-1800 hours).
