It was a brilliant course with lots of fun and interaction. It has gone beyond expectations & I’d like to say that this day will help in everyday communication with patients as well.
Excellent. Some of the course details/concepts/teaching are very new to me and have not come across them before but this course has given me some basic concepts/introduction to complex hand trauma & management.
Extremely helpful! Intense but distilled into key strategies!! Loved it!
I have enjoyed the two days intensive hand surgery fellowship with Prof Vaiude in which we have went ove the approach to hand trauma and surgical techniques used, it was a very fruitful experience and excellent learning opportunity. I am looking forward for the upcoming courses and other learning opportunities in Liverpool with you.
Fantastic Course. Wasn’t expecting the quality of models used. Very impressed. Great tutors – great to have such senior surgeons present.
Great confidence builder. Thanks for a great course – new concept & just what I was after, perhaps (probably) much more than every other course I’ve been on. Unique and filling a much needed niche.
Excellent Value for money. Good tutor to candidate ratio. Good quality coffee & food.
Great, I feel much more confident and organised. It’s just what you need before the interview.
Excellent. Great set-up. Good room for each person to work.
Really useful in all aspects: personal improvement, body image and knowledge. I’ve not come across any books, courses or papers or anywhere that gives advice on strategy so this was very useful. The portfolio section is invaluable at providing tips on maximising experience.

Good overall assessment, mainly due to friendly and helpful tutors. Extremely useful for CT1 level and an opportunity to dive beyond basic principles for higher levels (up to ST3)
Fantastic Course. Expert faculty with high quality equipment and simulation.
Really good course to get the basic concept of flap & graft, especially at early stages of training. Coming to this course with no idea how a flap is designed this has definitely improved my knowledge!
Amazing!

Excellent faculty ratio, personalised feedback and very relevant questions for NHS topics

Really useful and touched on areas never addressed nor tutored before.
Excellent Course, learned a lot more information on topics that I use everyday in work.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course. There was plenty of freedom to focus on my own learning needs.

Great course, good value for money. Very good faculty who were very friendly, helpful and approachable.
Sublime! I have heard very good things about Surgical Art but had no idea that I would find the hand trauma course as fantastic as it was. The faculty were fantastic, Amy was so very friendly and approacheable and Mr Bell and Faculty explained things clearly. I am very impressed with the models used and am certain I will be back to complete the other Surgical Art Courses.
One of the most useful courses I have ever done – thank you!
Excellent Course for Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery trainees. Good discussion around inter-disciplinary concepts. Friendly faculty.

Really good introduction to plastics. Will recommend and be attending other courses
Brilliant, great to get in to the mode for practising vivas/clinicals.
For the course fee, I was a bit sceptical but I think the instruments have been good and general essential principles have been presented well.
Far exceeded expectations, will definitely recommend!
Excellent for all levels of trainee because after each demonstration personal revision of the topic allowed.
I was very scared to do it, however I felt more confident by the end of the day. I’ve become more confident to do structured study & more practice on viva and clinical. It gave me a nice way of organising my answers, especially the “mind mapping” techniques.
Fantastic! Thank you!
Very useful at highlighting areas/ways of development.
Excellent Course, very cooperative tutors.
