Description
Many medical schools in the United Kingdom offer little exposure to the specialist field of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery; however, It is one of the fastest growing specialties, with principles and concepts that can be applied across the breadth of surgery.
Almost every surgeon will come into contact with this specialty at some point during their career.
Entering its 11th successful year, the conference aims to introduce and teach students and junior doctors the key components of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.
It endeavours to cover the majority of subspecialties, offering high quality interactive lectures, tutorials and practical sessions specifically tailored to make juniors more confident in their plastic surgery rotations.
UPRAS has a programme that has been constructed in conjunction with, and delivered by, some of the most prominent consultant plastic surgeons and trainees in the country.
