ORP & Therapists Course

Wednesday 27th February 2019

This is a one day course

Venue

Hilton Sheffield Hotel, Victoria Quays,

Furnival Road, Sheffield S4 7YB

In conjunction with Acumed UK

About the course

The upper limb trauma course is now in it’s 8th year and has been continuously improved in line with feedback from previous courses.

This course is aimed at theatre staff who regularly perform fracture surgery, are new to the discipline or who occasionally perform emergency fracture surgery as well as therapists who rehabilitate patients after upper limb trauma surgery. The practical style of the lectures gives a great insight into the reasons for performing the procedures whilst the hands-on workshops give an appreciation of the techniques and familiarity with the instrumentation. Whilst we use the Acumed systems for the workshops, the principles are widely applicable to all fracture surgery systems. The initial part of the course gives an appreciation of the relevant up-to-date medical science in easily digested chunks. The rest of the course is directly about the practicalities of upper limb trauma surgery and is equally applicable to the more or less experienced and to theatre nurses, ODPs, orthopaedic nurse practitioners, physiotherapists and OTs. All have previously attended and given us very positive feedback.

The course faculty is a mix of theatre OPD and nursing staff, nurse practitioners, physiotherapists and surgical staff to give a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to the subject.

There are a number of guided saw bones workshops throughout the day where you will be able to fix fractures in anatomical models using a variety of plating and nailing systems.

Contents

Principles of internal fixation
