Professor Giovanni Danesi
Director of ENT and Neuroscience, ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII, Bergamo
Join the third ENT day for an update on the methods for maximising outcomes for our patients. These meetings offer the perfect opportunity for networking with colleagues and renowned speakers. Lunch is included when booking the morning and afternoon meetings.
Morning meeting
In the morning session we will first hear from the Chair of the TWJ Foundation and a recent recipient of a TWJ grant about the benefits of overseas fellowship experience and bringing new management philosophies back to the UK. Andrew Benyon-Phillips will describe the benefits of a unique regional complex otology forum for otologists offering increasingly diverse services at the local level. The patient benefits that this forum brings, the reassurance to both patient and surgeon knowing that a complex clinical problem has been widely discussed and a management consensus reached. Finally, the ongoing learning experience for all those involved.
We will hear about the different major European national ear audits and the impact they have had on improving patient outcome across a nation. The necessary steps required to role an audit out across a nation and the latest proposal for a UK national ear audit. James Tysome will inform the delegates about the latest NHSE changes to hearing implantation delivery across England. James is an integral member of the team devising these changes introduced to offer an equitable hearing implant service across England. The implications that these changes will have on all centres offering or hoping to offer a local hearing implant service within a strategic health authority. Not least the need to offer the most appropriate implant based on degree and type of hearing loss. We will hear from Codruta Neumann, an expert in managing chronic middle ear disease, about how to manage the chronically discharging cavity. She presents a unique and highly audit series of patients describing the evolution of her technique to improve long-term success. She focuses on the difficulties experienced and the impact those difficulties had on shaping her technique with the focus on a dry hearing ear.
After the break there will be a masterclass on the management of ear drum pathology starting with an overview of chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction from Matt Smith who is the pre-eminent clinical academic in this field. He will present his personal investigation and management algorithms that he follows to enable him to reach the correct diagnosis and most appropriate management plan.
We are fortunate to have a unique series of over 1000 patients following the management of ear drum perforation and retraction pockets. Giovanni Danesi is Europe’s most respected otologist and skull base surgeon, past president of the European Skull Base Society and President of the Italian Society of Otolaryngology. He will describe his technique for achieving remarkable success in this field. Pulling on his vast numbers, carefully audited to reveal his tips and tricks for selecting the best approach and materials to attain a healthy drum.
We will then hear about how to manage the most difficult of ear drum pathologies, myringitis. This relatively common complication of eardrum repair that frustrates all otologists and seems resistant to most treatments. Reshma Ghedia will present the management of a series of patients from the team based at Barts, London and will include insights into new medical treatments that offer hope of drying a chronically wet eardrum. Codruta Neuman will then hold all our experts to account, asking questions on areas that cause otologists most difficulty.
Finally, the morning session will finish with something completely different! Rowland White is an acclaimed and best-selling author. He has published extensively on military history and is publishing director for Michael Josephs Publishing. He has published works by Tom Clancy, Jeremy Clarkson, Clive Cussler and Andy McNab to name a few. He will give us his unique understanding of what it takes to publish a best seller and explain that there is indeed a book in us all waiting to be published.
Afternoon meeting
In the afternoon, different approaches to improving outcomes will be considered. The impact of artificial intelligence on healthcare will be significant and Professor Aldo Faisal from the department of AI and neuroscience at Imperial College will speak on this topic. He has been recently recruited as the Science and Innovation Director for Health at the Alan Turing Institute to define, develop, and deliver on its Grand Challenge on Health. His work will hopefully harness the potential of AI theory and technology in transforming health care for the UK.
Research trials are vital in providing the evidence for our interventions. Historically the quality of such projects has been variable. A great deal of effort has been put into changing this. Mr James O’Hara, Consultant ENT Surgeon at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle and Senior Lecturer at Newcastle University has been involved in NIHR funded RCTs looking at chronic throat symptoms, adult tonsillitis, nasal surgery and laser therapy during head and neck radiotherapy. He will present on what he has learnt from his experiences.
Professor Mahmood Bhutta is the inaugural chair of ENT at Brighton and Sussex medical schools and has a long held interest in sustainable healthcare. He has recently been involved at governmental level to take this forward alongside ENT-UK. He will address the session on his current work and reflect as to how improved outcomes can be delivered without further environmental damage.
Finally, Ms Ann-Louise McDermott will tackle the difficult issue of how to improve outcomes for patients when the evidence for our interventions is perhaps not as complete as we would like. She will review with particular reference to paediatric rhinology. After the break Prof Guri Sandhu Consultant ENT Surgeon at Charing Cross Hospital and Professor at Imperial College London will moderate the Laryngology Update to continue the series over the academic year.
