Skills in Medicine – Minor Surgery

€22.00

This book is written for general practitioners, physicians in training to become general practitioners, medical students, and other interested individuals (medical receptionists, nurses, midwives, etc.). It is intended to be a handbook for those who wish to become competent at surgical techniques that may be applied in general practice.

A general practitioner may be expected to be competent at wound cleansing. Practitioners who wish to go beyond this level and, for example, excise small skin lesions, must have a thorough command of certain skills and must set up their practice in a way that minor surgery can be performed responsibly.
