Feedback from delegates who attended the course in 2024;
"I would like to say one of the workshops ever... Thank you so much for arranging for us."
"The most important thing I learned from this event is how to assemble instruments, what are indications and techniques to use URS and TUR and insights from clinical practice, different techniques of stone extraction."
"I liked the laid back atmosphere, lots of practical surgical training, the seminars were short and on point, the tutors were so helpful and staffs in the Lab were happy to help!"
The University of Dundee is currently the leading centre in the UK using Thiel embalmed cadavers, thanks to the pioneering work of its Centre of Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID.) for more information on our Thiel courses.
