Stream 2 Skin Cancers and Tumours - Biopsy and Suturing

Topics to be covered in the Certificate

Biopsy and Suturing

Biopsy and Suturing

Nurses are doing more surgical procedures in various forms of specialist practice and general practice so it is important they know how to take a skin biopsy and the different types of skin biopsies and the steps to be taken to make sure the specimens are correctly identified and described for the pathologist. Also nurses may be involved in excising multiple lesions so simple elliptical excision and suturing will be dealt with. To some extent this will be demonstrated during the initial weekend workshop but the different types of suturing of ellipses will also be dealt with.
