About this event

Beyond the Blade: Form, Function, Future is a five-session collaborative teaching series held across all London medical schools, for medical students.

This series, a first of its kind, aims to bring together all PRAS society students, creating an opportunity to learn, grow, and network together over each session. 

The series covers a range of topics, including:

  • basic surgical skills
  • plastic reconstruction techniques
  • aesthetic
  • congenital plastic surgery
  • burns management
  • hand surgery
  • microsurgery

There will be lectures alongside hands-on workshops, giving students a nice overview into the specialty of plastic surgery and the skills required to suceed.
