XXI. HARRACHOV SURGERY DAYS

On 15 – 16 June 2017, the Advanced Wound Management Division took part in the XXI. Harrachov Surgery Days held at the Fin Fun Hotel in Harrachov. The Congress was organized under the auspices of the Liberec Region councillor for healthcare MD Přemysl Sobotka and Liberec Regional Hospital a.s.The event was guaranteed by the Czech Surgery Society and was registered with the Czech Medical Chamber (CMC). The organizer of this event was the Surgery clinic of the Liberec Hospital headed by MD Peter Hromádka and by the Head Nurse Mgr. Ladislava Kohoutová.

The two-day congress was focused on the sections of abdominal, thoracic, vascular surgery, traumatology and variations. It was designed for doctors and nurses. The nurses section was attended by about 200 nurses from all surgical disciplines that operate both in wards and outpatient care.  There have been about 60 doctors registered in the doctors section.

Many interesting lectures on various topics in the field of surgery were given and many workshops were held. Our Kateřina Palušáková from the Advanced Wound Management gave a lecture on Parchment skin treatment with the use of Smith & Nephew materials. From the interest of the nurses it was obvious that it was a broadly discussed subject. The lecture raised interest in new procedures in the parchment skin care as well an interest in the Smith & Nephew products.
