About Us

The National Surgical Skills Society was created in June 2021 in collaboration with The Suture Centre, a training centre of excellence. Our aim is to facilitate exposure to different surgical specialities. Hands-on and wet lab courses are organized by our founders and supported by Faculty members across the country. Participants include medical students, foundation doctors, core trainees, registrars and staff grade doctors.
