Innovation in Clinical Practice

Mr Cubitt was part of the team at the Welsh Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery that pioneered a new local anaesthetic technique for melanoma and sentinel lymph node surgery, allowing complex skin cancer operations to continue safely during the COVID-19 pandemic when general anaesthetic restrictions were in place. The technique has since been adopted more broadly.
