Classroom 4 Doctors is hosting an interactive and hands-on workshop for skin cancer medical and nursing practitioners to update your knowledge and procedural skills.
This full-day workshop will include a morning of lectures and interactive Q&A by a multidisciplinary team of specialists: dermatologists, oncologists, pathologists, and surgeons in the diagnosis and management of skin cancers.
The afternoon will be hands-on suturing workshops with specialist plastic surgeons. There will be a fundamental and an advanced course running concurrently to suit your level of experience in skin cancer procedures.
Topics covered
- skin cancer dermatology and MOH surgery
- role of laser in treatment of skin lesions
- skin cancer histopathology
- immunotherapy treatments for skin cancers
- indications for radiotherapy in the management of skin cancers
- fundamentals of periocular skin cancers
- the latest updates in melanoma management
- scar management and minimisation
The two concurrent workshops held in the afternoon:
- Fundamentals: this is a suturing workshop focused on finessing the techniques that plastic surgeons use to minimise scarring and maximise wound closure. This workshop will be concentrating on excisions, dermal sutures, epidermal techniques including subcuticulars, and other repair techniques used in skin cancer surgery such as basic flaps.
- Advanced: this is a suturing workshop for those who have already had a broad experience in skin cancer surgery, and already have well-established fundamental skills. The focus will be on complex flap designs in difficult areas with possible pitfalls. There will also be an opportunity to learn how to perform a full thickness skin graft, including donor site management and strategies to maximise graft take.
You will receive a questionnaire prior to the workshop that will help us allocate you into the right group. Please note that the suturing workshop will involve handling of raw pork belly, there will be no synthetic substitute available.
