“Introduction to Plastic Surgery: Basic and Advanced Skills” is a practical educational workshop organised by UCL Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery Society for medical students interested in plastic surgery. It is suitable for students with limited previous surgical experience, with opportunities for more experienced attendees to develop their skills.
The session will cover core principles of surgical instrument handling, tissue handling, suturing and knot tying, followed by an introduction to more advanced plastic surgery techniques, including wound closure and the principles of local flap design.
The proposed agenda comprises a welcome and introduction to the learning objectives, a short teaching presentation, step-by-step demonstrations by Benedict and the teaching team, and supervised practical exercises using simulation materials. Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions, receive individual feedback and discuss how these techniques are applied in clinical practice. The workshop will conclude with a recap of the key learning points and a question-and-answer session.
