Five of our members have just returned from a very successful course in Facial Plastic Surgery in Hong Kong. They acted as faculty to supplement local expertise in providing high quality teaching aimed mostly at the ENT Higher Trainees. The course was very well attended, with local specialists and nurses supplementing a full cohort of trainees. The course consisted of lectures for 2 days, followed by fresh frozen cadaver dissection under supervision by the trainees. The rest of the participants were treated to operative demonstrations on fresh frozen cadavers via a high quality video link.
