Join us for GUPRAS’ first practical skills session of the year! 

In collaboration with @theprecisionseries, this hands-on workshop will take you from the fundamentals of suturing through to more advanced wound-closure techniques and surgical knot tying. Throughout the evening, we’ll work through: 

Basic suturing 

• Simple interrupted sutures 

• Simple continuous/running sutures 

• Instrument handling, needle handling and correct tissue handling 

Advanced suturing 

• Vertical mattress sutures 

• Horizontal mattress sutures 

• Subcuticular suturing 

• Deep dermal/buried sutures & Surgical knot tying 

There will be plenty of hands-on practice throughout the evening, with guidance to help you develop your technique and confidence. Whether you’ve never picked up a needle driver before or already have some suturing experience and want to refine your skills, everyone is welcome. 

All equipment is provided!
