Can’t get to a course?
You can still be assessed and signed off — without leaving your practice
The Minor Surgery Distance Course isn’t a video library. It’s supervised training that happens to arrive by post.
1
Your kit arrives
A full surgical kit is posted to you — instruments, sutures, skin pads and everything you need to practise properly at home.
2
Practise along
Work through the demonstrations with the tutor, pausing and repeating as often as you need. Nothing to keep up with, nobody watching over your shoulder.
3
Submit your work
Record and send your techniques to a tutor for review, in your own time.
4
Get signed off
A tutor assesses what you’ve done and signs off your DOPS. The same accreditation as the two-day course.
After the course
What you’ll be able to do
Manage more in-house
Handle skin lesions and joint problems in your own clinic instead of referring on. Shorter waits for patients, wider scope for you.
Practise, not watch
Simulation models, soft tissue pads and 4K close-up demonstration, with a take-home surgical kit so you can keep going afterwards.
Evidence your competence
DOPS assessment on the minor surgery courses, CPD certification throughout, and tutor support once you’re back in practice.
