Course Overview

Skin & reconstructive surgery is a course aimed at all small animal practitioners who are developing their skills in surgery beyond the common procedures in first opinion practice, or have some experience of more advanced procedures and want to check on how they might be performed more efficiently.

The course focuses on reconstructive surgeries, but also includes the basis of open wound management and surgical oncology of the skin and subcutis.

It will also be of interest to those not planning to do these procedures but wishing to know more so they can offer their clients an insight into what is possible, and what the outcomes might be.

Module 1. Wound assessment, decision making and open wound management
Module 2. Reconstruction 1: skin flaps (random pattern, distant direct and limb skin fold flaps)
Module 3. Reconstruction 2 (axial pattern flaps, free skin grafts)
Module 4. Management of skin fold disease (screw tail, lip folds, facial skin folds, perivulvar) and interdigital disease
Module 5. Surgical oncology of the skin and subcutis

Course Format

Tutored
Untutored On Demand

This course is designed as a refresher CPD course and is composed of a series of modules, with each module containing a recorded video webinar, notes to download and keep, plus clinical cases to deepen your understanding. The webinars are not live and can be viewed whenever works best for you.

Tutored courses run with a tutor for three weeks (the advertised dates), plus you then get continued access for a further 11 months (so 12 months in total). You can do our courses at your own pace and at times that suit you. Nothing has to be done at set times, so the courses are perfect for a world-wide audience.

Tutored courses are supplemented by a discussion forum where you can ask the tutor questions and debate topics relevant to your daily practice – this forum operates for the three weeks of the advertised course dates. Total course access is 12 months. Courses are completed with an MCQ exam (giving you 8 hours of CPD) which can be taken at any time during the 12 months the course is running.
