Returning to the ExCeL London on 15-16 November 2022, Future Surgery will deliver over 110 educational sessions – the largest to date – helping surgical teams to stay current with surgical innovation.
Delivered in partnership with the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the show invites all members of the theatre team to stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and hear from many of the leaders and experts who are firmly embedded in the surgical community.
Designed specifically to meet the training needs of surgical professionals and their multidisciplinary teams in perioperative care, the show features a high-quality CPD accredited speaker programme.
The conference brings together world-leading academics and industry experts. Providing delegates with an unrivalled opportunity to explore the latest trends, develop their skills and stay-up-to date with the latest technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of surgery, in a highly rewarding environment.
Spread across 6 dedicated education theatres, the show will feature over 110 expert speakers leading keynote sessions, panel discussions and workshop sessions.
Together they will explore a wide array of key themes including: disruptive technology, connectivity, human factors, and training and research to support surgeons at all stages of their career and promote patient safety.
Yemi Ibidunni, Event Director said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to huge backlogs in elective care and so the topic of patient safety is even more prominent. The conference will explore the current challenges facing surgical care and offer diverse perspectives on how to help improve the situation.”
“It has something for all members of the surgical care team, from surgical care practitioners to trainees and consultants, delivering a wide range of high-quality CPD accredited training and education across two full days. We look forward to welcoming surgeons, anaesthetists and the whole perioperative team with the shared goal of exploring current challenges and looking at how the future of surgery will be mapped out.”
