For out first session we are covering Acute Surgical Conditions and Presentations in General Surgery. There are a great many of these so we will cover some conditions in the respective subspecialty sessions coming up. Conditions and presentations are based off the UKMLA curriculum for Surgery and Gastroenterology.

We will go over presentations, clinical features, assessment and investigations, as well as management, particularly focussing on the role of a foundation doctor.

The session will be recorded if you miss it or want to watch it again!

Also feedback is much appreciated so that we can continue to improve further sessions.
