About This Webinar
Conference co-Chairs, Mr David Ross and Mr Alastair Windsor, have prepared several complex cases which they will explore.

They want you, the audience, to give your thoughts on what you would do to diagnose and treat the cases they have presented. Bringing expertise from both plastics and general surgery this is a great opportunity for you to get involved in the discussion and learn from two of the masters in AWR.
