Master simple, effective techniques to manage challenging closures following tumour excisions, including local flaps and tension-relieving sutures.
Wound management in general practice
Refresh your understanding of wound assessment, debridement, dressings (both simple and advanced), and closure options.
Who is it for?
This course is ideal for general practitioners, recent graduates, and any vet wishing to refine their knowledge and confidence of both oncological surgery and wound management in general practice.
