APPLICATIONS OPEN – MINOR SURGERY AND JOINT INJECTION TRAINING

The Suffolk & North East Essex Training Hub is now taking applications for Minor Surgery and Joint Injections courses, provided by Dr Soon Lim.  These courses will take place on the 26^th and 27^th March 2026. 

The MINOR SURGERY course is based on the syllabus of the old RCGP 2-day course. To reduce the time spent in an indoor meeting, the theory lectures have been shifted to an online platform which can also be accessed afterwards as a reference resource. This leaves the practical skills which are taught, practiced and assessed in 1 whole day.  There is also a MINOR SURGERY UPDATE half-day course for those who are already skilled in and practicing minor surgery.

The JOINT INJECTION course is based on the old RCGP 1-day course and covers the diagnostic tests, injection techniques and rehab exercises for the most injected condition in primary care for the elbow, shoulder, hand/wrist, and knee. The 3-hour practical session will be carried out on synthetic simulation mannequins. There will be a ratio of 2 delegates to a full set of mannequins.
