King’s Health Partners Academic Surgery aims to facilitate outstanding surgical science collaborations, improve education for the next generation of surgical trainees and inspire students pursuing exciting surgical careers.

Each Grand Round welcomes two prestigious speakers to give a seminar, with one focussing on a surgical specialty and the second sharing a keynote lecture which is awarded the Bulkley-Barry-Cooper Surgical Professorship certificate.
This world-class innovative and dynamic lecture series has a simple aim; to provide a framework in which the King’s Health Partners surgical community can come together and network, develop insights, collaborative solutions and relationships with national and international colleagues.

He has a particular interest in endoscopic therapy as applied to upper gastrointestinal disease having published widely on both malignant and benign conditions of the stomach and oesophagus. He is also particularly interested in data science as applied to gastroenterology and has several active grants investigating both the interactive simulation of physiological upper GI disease and the use of data science to optimise care for gastroenterology patients.

Mr. William Knight, on ‘Poetry in motion: The evolving use of intraoperative endoflip planimetry to tailor per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in 2 UK centres.’

Surgeons at the Sharp End knife crime conference - Thursday 19th September
2019-09-19 09:00 - 17:00
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.
