LM

German Hand Society (DGH)

Mr Muir gave an invited lecture on PIP joint arthroplasty to the DGH in Munich on Friday 13 October.  The introductory part in German appeared to be well received.

ICHS

We are excited about the ICHS later this week.

The practical course is looking excellent, and a great learning opportunity.

There are still places on the lecture course.  We are looking forward to Professor Mackinnon's lectures on nerve - she is a world authority.  There are also great talks planned from a host of other high flying speakers.  One of the highlights will be a clinical demonstration of examination of the brachial plexus.
