Session Title: Vascular Surgery - Painful Upper Limb & Access For RRT

Session Tutor: Mr Bharadhwaj Ravindhran (ST6 Vascular Surgery)

Session Leads: Dr Suet Yee Ong (FY2), Dr Shantanu Bajaj (FY2)

We are excited to announce the second event of our surgical teaching series by Mr Ravindhran on common vascular presentations, namely the causes of upper limb pain and the process patients undergo for establishment of vascular access for renal replacement therapy (RRT).

This online session is expected to last 1 hour in duration. There will be an opportunity for Q&A at the end. Please complete post session questionnaire to access your certificates! We look forward to welcoming everyone! :)

Summary

This crucial teaching session focusses on common causes for limb pain in vascular surgery with a specificity on vascular access for RRT. It’s the perfect opportunity to deepen your understanding about vascular anatomy and its role in common vascular pathologies. Boost your confidence, proficiency and knowledge in this highly specialised field, taught by Mr Ravindhran, ST6 in Vascular Surgery & NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow. Don't miss out on this valuable learning opportunity to enhance your surgical knowledge for clinical exams!

Learning objectives
