Other speakers included Mr Henry Wynn-Jones, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon from Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust and Dr Matthew Scarborough, a Consultant in Clinical Infection from Oxford University Hospitals.
Mr Javed and Dr Guleri also presented a case study as part of the session which was attended by staff from across the county.

“It was very well received. The feedback was excellent and the audience was very engaged.’’
Dr Guleri thanked Correvio for supporting the event through an educational grant.
