Liverpool Advanced Head and Neck Reconstruction Course
This is an advanced course focused at the needs of the OMFS trainees who are comfortable with raising radial forearm flaps or fibula and pushes their understanding and technical abilities to raise the full gambit of free flaps for maxillofacial reconstruction.
The places have just opened for 2025; 13th – 16th October in the Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC) in the University of Liverpool.
“Having run this course for almost a decade now, it remains the only course to have a dedicated custom planning session, with cadavers scanned in advance to allow delegates to undertake custom planning (DCIA, fibula, Scapula etc) on the cadaver available in the course AND have the custom guides that they design to be able to apply during simulated flap harvest.”
- Prof. Andrew Schache, PhD BDS MBChB(Hons.) FDSRCS FRCS (OMFS)
The course is advertised alongside all the LHNC courses on https://livheadandneck.co.uk/professionals/courses.

The Liverpool Head & Neck Dissection Course
The Liverpool Head and Neck Centre is proud to host a two-day intensive hands-on course aimed at trainees in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Plastic Surgery. The course includes instructional sessions, supervised cadaver dissection and expert panel discussions.
The course will be delivered at Human Anatomy Resource Centre state-of-the-art facilities at the University of Liverpool. Under the direction and supervision of expert tutors, delegates will have the opportunity to revise anatomy and become better equipped to perform head and neck surgical interventions to a high standard. The focus will be on maximum hands-on dissection time to allow delegates to consolidate previously acquired skills and refine their operative technique. Dissectors will be able to have work-based assessments completed for the procedures covered. There will be 2 dissectors per Thiel soft-fix cadaver.
The course fee is £750 for dissectors, and £350 for observers (includes refreshments, lunch and a course dinner on Thursday 11th September).
The course is limited to 16 dissectors and 8 observers, and early booking is advised.
