About
The workshop utilises superior teaching models - fresh frozen cadavers which have undergone arterial gelatine injection to enhance arterial/venous discrimination. There will be two participants per cadaver.
Pre-reading will be provided so all workshop time is spent on dissection.
The sessions are fully interactive with an emphasis placed on knowledgeable faculty who provide superior training and immediate feedback in a practical and controlled workshop environment. An Anatomist will be part of the Faculty to assist with immediate advice and guidance.
