This educational event seeks to provide updates on coloproctologists working with other specialties, state-of-the-art and future surgical oncology and super-specialised areas of coloproctology. This will also be a fantastic opportunity for participants to reflect on how they may do things differently in their careers.

This programme has a robust educational agenda. The first day is devoted to multidisciplinary working and how this can enhance outcomes. The second day explores the need for super-specialisation. Lastly, the final session will allow a summary of both modern advances in colorectal surgery and a reflection of how careers may be done slightly differently. The most important aspect of the meeting is the ability to network with both senior colleagues and trainees in a friendly and supportive atmosphere. 

During this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Learn how to work in a multidisciplinary environment
  • Updates in super-specialist areas by experts in the field
  • Gain a flavour of how their careers may aspirations may be taken in a different direction
