The Dermatology Department in Ninewells Hospital in Dundee would like to welcome you to an Introduction to Skin Surgery for Nurses. This is a 2-day basic course designed to give practitioners who are considering performing nurse-led skin surgery, some theoretical knowledge and practice. Nurses will require further training and support from a clinician to complete training under supervision in their own area. Medical and nursing staff involved in skin surgery will provide the lectures and support the practical sessions.

Supervised practical sessions will be provided each day to consolidate theory.

All equipment required for the course will be provided. The practical sessions will be taught on pig skin, therefore anyone who is unable to work on pig skin should notify us in advance.

Please refer to the below documents for further information if you are interested:
