Surgeons at the Sharp End knife crime conference - Thursday 19th September
2019-09-19 09:00 - 17:00 (Europe/London)
Being held at The Studio, Birmingham.
Police data shows knife crime has more than doubled in West Midlands since 2012, with 700 victims in the region just last year. The number of crimes involving a knife or sharp instrument is on the rise, with over 60 stabbing offences in an average week. Knife wounds can be fatal or leave patients with chronic health problems. So, how can surgeons contribute to help prevent incidents of knife crime and reduce the harm caused by knife wounds?

A panel of expert speakers will be delivering sessions on:
– management of knife wound injuries (abdominal, chest and other trauma related injuries);
– reasons, outcomes and the West Midlands’ knife crime experience;
– the role of the Royal College of Surgeons and the development of emergency trauma as a specialty.

HAROLD HOPKINS SYMPOSIUM
2018-06-07
This meeting is an opportunity to appreciate the work of Professor Harold Hopkins FRS – a remarkable optical physicist whose work changed the world wide practice of surgery and medicine.
Prior to 1959, the optics of the traditional cystoscope were dreadful. After being approached by a Urologist wanting better illumination, Hopkins improved the light transmission 80 fold by developing the Rod Lens, transforming the image quality and opening the door to all minimally invasive short stay surgery.
Also responsible for introducing the CVD reader, Hopkins published the first coherent image transmitted through a fibreoptic bundle, paving the way for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic fibre optic endoscopy.
Book a place at this free event to learn about Hopkins’ contribution to medicine. You’ll explore the history and evolution of the instruments that are now used routinely in the most intricate of operations. Click here for more information.

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF MINIMAL ACCESS SURGERY
2018-03-20
On behalf of Cambridge Medical Robotics, we’re delighted to invite you to a panel discussion entitled, ‘Unlocking the potential of minimal access surgery – a conversation on the challenges and opportunities for greater MAS adoption in the UK’.
Minimal Access Surgery can have innumerable benefits for patients. However, uptake remains relatively low. Unlocking the potential of minimal access surgery, a leading event in central London will examine how we can increase the uptake of minimal access surgery and address the barriers to adoption of the latest innovations in the NHS.
The discussion will be led by an expert panel of thought-leaders in surgery, including Amjad Parvaiz, Professor of Surgery at Poole General Hospital, and Prokar Dasgupta, Professor of Robotic Surgery & Urological Innovation, King’s College London.
This event is taking place at one of London’s newest landmark buildings, the Francis Crick Institute on Tuesday 20th March 2018 between 18:00-21:00, registration and attendance is free. To register attendance and see who will be speaking click here. The Francis Crick Institute is next door to Kings Cross St. Pancras.
