Feedback from the last Stitch-Up Course

“I was interested to attend the BSDS 1 day Stitch up Course in St. James Hospital in Leeds, due to the variety of topics covered and the practical sessions included in the curriculum. I was much surprised by the areas of topics covered… The day was rich and full of new areas I thought very interesting to both learn and have ‘’hands on” experience.

I could not have asked for better course and I can not emphasize enough on how the organizers were approachable, very helpful and supportive… I found this course to be highly valuable, very well co-ordinated, motivational and raised my level of confidence, experience and knowledge  as well as provided me with the inspiration and aim to gain further higher experience in Dermatology surgical skills. It was definitely worthy of all efforts.”
