Aurora Awards | 23. & 24. February 2023 | Reykjavik, Iceland
Attend the exclusive workshop where you learn how to land the most elusive outpatient- and lower extremity surgery wounds. You can secure your spot by participating in the Aurora Awards case study competition and share your clinical experience using fish skin grafts.
Over the past several years, Iceland has emerged as a vibrant center for medical and scientific innovation, with Kerecis at the forefront in the area of wound healing and tissue repair.
Northern Lights Wound Workshop is the leading scientific workshop for advancing the knowledge of the utility of fish skin grafts for management of chronic wounds and lower extremity injuries. Participation and exchange of ideas is fostered between all attendees in an exclusive small capacity event where all attendees get to present their findings.
Join us next February during the height of Auroras in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Start with signing up for the Northern Lights workshop to secure your seat. Please note that a limited number of seats are available, so we recommend registering today.
If eligible, you will receive an email with information on how to submit your relevant case abstract. The deadline for submission is November 23rd, 2022. Please note your case will be reviewed by the Medical Affairs Team after submission to ensure this is a complete and relevant case to present at the workshop.
Each abstract submission will be blindly reviewed by the panel of judges who are experts in clinical practice in the field of wound healing. Winning cases will be announced on December 5th, 2022, and will be granted an invitation to the Northern Lights Workshop.
