The Plastic Surgery Department, led by Consultant Plastic Surgeons, Mr Amir Ismail and Mr Wareth Maamoun successfully organised a training day in Central Treatment Suite, UHNM, for plastic surgeons across the country last month.
Volunteer UHNM patients were universal in their appreciation of participating in the mock clinical examinations, undertaken by higher level trainees who are soon to be consultant plastic surgeons. The day also provided an opportunity for more junior trainees, medical, nursing and clerical to observe and learn from their colleagues.
Clinical Lead Nurse Phyllis Dunn said: “The course received excellent feedback from all professional groups and from the participating volunteers. Mr Ismail and Mr Maamoun are a real credit to the department, paving the way in participatory training in the multidisciplinary team using the UHNM motto ‘Its okay to ask!'”
