FEEDBACK

Following the success of the five previous conferences, HYMS Joint Surgical Societies are delighted to present the HYMS 6^th National Undergraduate Surgical Conference, which will take place on Saturday 19^th of January 2019 at the the Allam Medical Building, University of Hull.

This one-day event is open to all undergraduate medical students and will offer delegates an opportunity to attend three workshops covering a range of surgical skills and specialities. It intends to provide all attendees with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of and enthusiasm for surgery, to gain exposure to a range of surgical specialities, and to build their basic skills from knot-tying to chest drain insertion, portfolio-building to laparoscopic skills. Delegates are encouraged to select learning opportunities from which they can most benefit.

The keynote speakers represent a cross-section of some of the leading figures in surgery and it will be a huge honour to welcome them: Professor Giles Toogood (Consultant Hepatobiliary and Liver Transplant Surgeon, President Elect of the Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, and former first-class cricket player), Professor Betsy Evans (Consultant Cardiothoracic Surgeon), Mrs Lisa Hawfield-Law (Consultant Surgical Educationalist), and Mr Simon Fleming (Trauma and Orthopaedic registrar on the Pott rotation in London and leader of the anti-bullying #HammerItOut campaign). We are certain they will provide insightful and inspirational teaching to all who attend and we look forward to gaining from their experience and clinical excellence.
