Future Surgery 2024
Shining a light on the future of surgery
From advances in robot-assisted surgery, to artificial intelligence, the future of surgery is rapidly evolving. The latest innovations will be highlighted at this year’s Future Surgery event – alongside discussion of the latest trends and issues that are set to shape the direction of the surgical profession.
Taking place on the 1st and 2nd of October, at London’s Excel, Future Surgery is delivered in partnership between CloserStill Media and the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCS England). The event encourages shared insights and professional development, enabling the entire perioperative team to reflect, and explore how technology and new ways of working are revolutionising patient care and outcomes in the UK and worldwide. Across two informative days, experts will
provide a deep dive into upcoming innovations, disruptive technologies, and the latest pioneering techniques. Delegates can learn how these advances can help redefine excellence in patient care and safety, all while reshaping the surgical workforce and the profession itself. Future Surgery is not about far-off speculation, however. It is about implementing tangible innovation now. With two days of outcome-oriented educational content, cutting-edge case studies, and inspiring insight from the leaders at the frontline of surgery, delegates will gain practical skills to drive forward the field and develop a stronger voice for all surgical professionals and multidisciplinary teams in perioperative care. This year’s CPD-accredited conference is poised to be the most comprehensive to date, with a focus on global health innovation, disruptive technology, innovation in surgery, human factors, and research to support the transformation of the profession and the improved care and safety of patients. The programme will include keynotes, panel discussions, live surgery, demonstrations and practical workshop sessions delivered by leading names from surgery, academia and industry.
Thought-leadership There will be many high profile thought leaders speaking during the event, including a Presidential address by Tim Mitchell, President of Royal College of Surgeons of England.
There will also be a keynote session by Sanjay Krishnamoorthy, National Professional Advisor, at the Care Quality Commission. From a care delivery point of view, he warns that we are living through ‘a perpetual winter’ in NHS hospitals. Historic admissions trends are a thing of history – so, how do we prepare for the challenges of today and the future? Join the talk to understand what the CQC has seen across England and delve into potential plans for the future. A keynote dedicated to ‘Women in Surgery
& Medicine’ will also be delivered by Scarlett McNally, Deputy Director, from the Centre for Perioperative Care and President of the Medical Women’s Federation, and Felicity Meyer, Chair of the Women in Surgery Forum (WinS), at the Royal College of Surgeons England. This session is for everyone keen to improve the future. Despite women being in the majority at medical school for 40 years, there are still low proportions of women in surgery. Recent reports show better patient outcomes with gender diverse teams, so we are failing
patients as well as colleagues if we do not try to reduce the persistent barriers. More women leave surgical training than men. 91% of women doctors in the BMA survey had experienced recent sexism. There are many barriers and challenges that could be addressed, for example: making required adjustments for pregnancy, improving surgical training especially combined with parenthood, reducing the sexist assumptions and actions of patients and co-workers, increasing the understanding and celebration of difference and promoting women into leadership roles.
Workplace culture Efforts to improve the workplace culture will also be high on the agenda at Future Surgery – with sessions dedicated to: l Embedding a workplace culture based on fairness, respect, appreciation.
l The art of explanation - how to communicate with clarity and confidence.
