Location: Crowne Plaza Royal Victoria Sheffield, Victoria Station Rd, Sheffield, S4 7YE

In this event, a carefully selected group of regional experts will be speaking about topics that are not really covered well in any other forums. This will provide a succinct summary of issues ranging from the management of very common conditions that are managed badly, to rarer conditions that may be managed very well with even more specialist input. 

There will also be a section on common requirements of the colorectal surgeon including training, management and well being. Each talk is designed to assist the attendees in developing the skills to provide high standard service and/or to stimulate them to consider more specialist practice or even diversification into more non-clinical roles. 

This educational programme includes lectures from around the North of England incorporating specifically insights into:

  • Novel methods of commonly managed conditions including non-surgical perspectives 
  • Cutting edge management of rarer conditions 
  • Novel methods of learning both for consultants and trainees 
  • Consideration of managerial roles 
  • Looking after yourself

We would like to thank our sponsors Applied Medical, Ethicon, Elemental Healthcare, Medtronic and TELABio for their support of this meeting. Please note that the meetings scientific programme, content or organisation has not been influenced in any way by the sponsors.
