The AHTA invites you to attend The Shoulder: Surgical Insights & Clinical Q&A webinar, being presented by Dr Mike Thomas, Liz Giuffre and Paula Peralta. This meeting is being held online only.
Dr Mike Thomas, Orthopaedic Surgeon
Originally hailing from the UK, Dr Mike Thomas, MB BCh, MRCS, FRCS(Tr&Orth), AMC Cert, FRACS(Orth), FAOrthA has been a Gold Coast-based general Orthopaedic Surgeon for many years. He has a busy clinical practice but is also Clinical Director of Orthopaedics and Trauma Services for Gold Coast Hospital and Health Services, Chairman of the Queensland Directors of Orthopaedics Group, Orthopaedic Surgery Representative on the Surgical Advisory Committee to Queensland Health, Honorary Adjunct Assistant Professor at Bond University School of Medicine and a founding member of the Gold Coast Hand and Upper-Limb Research Society. His research into upper-limb conditions has been presented and published nationally and internationally.
Dr Thomas has special interests in hand and upper-limb surgery, trauma, joint replacement and arthroscopic surgery.
Following Dr Thomas' presentation, join Liz Giuffre and Paula Peralta — developers and presenters of the AHTA Shoulder Course — for a live “Ask Us Anything” session. Thinking about enroling in the shoulder course, but not sure if the course is the right fit? Submit your questions about the content, level, and who it’s designed for. Or take the opportunity to pick their brains on your clinical dilemmas. Come curious. Leave clearer.
The Q & A will include questions such as:
- My anatomy of the shoulder is average, does the course cover that or do I need to study beforehand?
- Should I do both days or just the intro?
- I’m treating a patient with a distal radius ORIF but she has complained of a sore shoulder, what basic Ax could I do before referring her on to a shoulder expert?
- How do you juggle treating a patient with both proximal and distal injuries
