Welcome to the sixth installment of our Widening Participation in Plastics webinar series!

Ever thought about what life is like as a plastic surgeon? Thinking about a career in plastic surgery but want to know more?

This webinar series brought to you in association with PRASSA aims to give you an insight into the world of plastic surgery. Each webinar will explore a different sub-speciality of plastics from orthoplastics to trauma to burns, delivered by registrars and consultants across the country. We hope to show you what a day in the life of a plastic surgeon entails, discuss some interesting case stories and inspire you to join the world of plastics! We encourage you to ask questions in our Q&A at the end.
