Microsurgical workshops are run on a continuous basis throughout the year. During the course week, candidates are taught the basis of microvascular anatomosis concentrating on conventional suturing methods. It is felt a minimum of ST1 or equivalent in a speciality needing microvascular surgery training, is required

The workshops are practical, with every candidate having an up to date operating microscope to operate on in vitro and in vivo vessels. Tutors are always present. The course is taught in English. We regret we cannot provide translation.
 

Accommodation

Bed and breakfast accommodation can be arranged. Hotels either in Glasgow or in the vicinity will be booked if requested.
 

Course Fee

A week (Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 5.00 pm) at the laboratory including all consumables (sutures, etc.) costs £1,300. Food and accommodation are not included. There will be a course dinner on Thursday evening.
 

Licence

A Personal Licence issued by the Home Office permitting in vivo work, is an essential pre-requisite and takes at least 6 weeks to arrange. The Home Office charges £226 for this (this is inclusive in the £1,300 cost). Licences for microsurgical training are only granted for the period of the course and are revoked immediately thereafter. If through unforeseen circumstances you find it necessary to re-arrange your booking to a later course, this can be done by agreement (and provided there is room on a later course), without incurring any extra charge, provided the move falls within the financial year. Licence fees are payable annually and if the licence is retained from May into June of any year, a second annual fee becomes due.
