I am pleased to report that BAPRAS has authorised an increase in the amount of time that I am allocated to the project, which will really help with moving forwards some of the sessions that have been returned but are awaiting my review. Currently there is an 11 month backlog but I hope to reduce that to 6 months within the next few weeks. This has partly been facilitated by grants totalling £100K received from Health Education England during the last few weeks.
We are at the stage now where we are looking to allocate new sessions to authors. So if you would like to pick something up, please get in touch. All of the generic sessions have been written but there are plenty of site specific sessions and burns topics. These modules are:
- Head and neck
- Breast and chest wall
- Upper limb
- Lower trunk
- Lower Limb
- Burns
Equally, if you have any colleagues who would like to get involved, tell them to email me. If every plastic surgeon in the UK wrote 2 sessions the project would be finished!
Best wishes for 2014!
