The Minor Surgery Course covers all the practical techniques and guidance needed to perform minor surgery in a simulated environment. However, like most CPD courses, it is not a postgraduate qualification or diploma, and does not in isolation qualify healthcare professionals to practise minor surgery independently.
The requirements for practising minor surgery independently can vary between and within professions. For some, it may require a higher education qualification (such as a diploma). For others, it may involve CPD training like this course, followed by an employer’s competency-based assessment and sign-off. In certain cases, particularly for independent practitioners and doctors, this training should be complemented by local mentorship, reflective practice, audit, and appraisal.
If you are not a prescriber, you will also need arrangements in place for local anaesthetic prescriptions under a Patient Group Directive (PGD) or Patient Specific Direction (PSD) prior to any treatment.
This course is attended by doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other NMC/HCPC registered professionals, either to gain a solid foundation in minor surgery or as a CPD refresher or skills enhancement.
