🪡 ASiT Foundation Surgical Skills (FSS) Workshops in Wales 🏴
Over the past few weeks, our ASiT Welsh Rep @OscarZhenYuWong delivered #two FSS workshops! These course aimed to support #foundationdoctors and #medicalstudents in developing essential core surgical skills early in training.
Both sessions were very well received, with excellent engagement and #positive feedback. A special thank you to @CamSurgModels for sponsoring the surgical pads, which were highly praised for their #realism and significantly #enhanced the handson learning experience.
Thank you to all faculty and participants for making these workshops a success. We’d also like to thank the Swansea Surgical Society for their support in running the course.
