The Autumn PCTA (Primary Care Training Academy) event held at the MalMaison hotel in Birmingham was another extremely popular and well-run event. The two day course led by Mr Sultan Hassan and his team of surgeons, trained primary care clinical professionals in the skills required for minor surgery by both theory and practical workshops. Following the course, delegates are always encouraged by the level of progression they make from their initial assessment on the first day to the final assessment at lunchtime on the Sunday, regardless of their previous experience and skill set.
Ps and nurses come from all over the UK to attend the PCTA which Schuco are proud to be a part of. At the event Schuco held a very popular Hyfrecator 2000 demonstration and showcased the range of dermatoscopes and minor surgery instruments we offer. Particular interest was shown in the Stiefel Punches and Curettes, EPIGLU and the Fast Facts Minor Surgery book, as always the seco0nd edition Dermoscopy: The Essentials
Schuco have been supporting Mr Hassan and his team at the PCTA for over two years now and the feedback received from delegates has always been positive with comments of “really informative,” “good trainer to trainee ratios of 4:1” and “a good mix of theory and practical training” being common. The next series of training events are in November, on the 23rd a Dermoscopy 1 day training event and the Minor Surgery on the 24th and 25th Schuco hope to see you there.
