Hard anatomy and soft anatomy, and the impact on surgery and planning

Small differences in anatomy can have a significant impact on how a skin cancer surgical procedure is planned and performed. Knowing what lies beneath and around a lesion can be just as important as assessing the lesion itself.

In this HealthCert webinar and Q&A, Dr Jonny Levy explores the relationship between hard and soft anatomy and its implications for surgery and planning. The session focuses on clinically relevant anatomical considerations, with an emphasis on applying this knowledge to real-world primary care.

Suitable for doctors with some experience in skin cancer surgery, this session is part of our free monthly education series for alumni, current course participants, and practitioners interested in skin cancer. The session is designed to help you apply your learning in real-world clinical practice, with case discussions and Q&A.
