BPS: General principles

Welcome to the Basic Practical Skills (BPS) course BPS: general principles.

The BPS online courses have been created for the BPS course. As well as refining surgical techniques in the practical course, it is important to understand the theory and key issues behind the practical skills. These online courses will test what you have learned through self-assessments at the end.

The BPS: general principles course focusses on:

• consent
• electrosurgery
• surgical positioning
• instruments
• suture and needles
• surgical scrubbing.
