Thank you so much for organising such an excellent course with great faculty, teaching and equipment. I learnt a lot being able to practice the various surgical techniques on cadavers. I feel more confident at performing endoscopic surgery and look forward to putting what I have learnt into practice. The facial reconstruction day was also helpful and it was great to be able to practice performing various flap techniques. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable and educational 3 days which I am grateful for being able to attend.
