This course is held in a state-of-the-art facility at Manchester Medical School. Surgical teaching takes place with fresh frozen cadavers, which have not been embalmed. The tissues handle normally, and it is akin to operating on a tourniquet limb. Sessions include arthroscopy, approaches to hindfoot joints, fixation of hindfoot fusions and popliteal blocks. Midfoot approaches and fixation, Forefoot approaches and osteotomies. The course attracts very positive feedback from participants. The faculty are all dedicated foot and ankle surgeons, who have been chosen for their passion for teaching and their approachability.
Learning will be tailored to learners group level. Trainees will have the opportunity to complete indexed PBA. Senior fellows and consultants will be guided to more advanced approaches.

The faculty are all experienced Orthopaedic surgeons, and the high faculty to participant ratio will ensure maximal hands on experience.
