About the event
The scientific programme approached value in surgery through patient outcomes, service costs and equitable access. It linked specialist clinical work with wider questions about infrastructure, financing and the surgical workforce.
The society’s postevent account confirms that delegates and speakers met for presentations and panel discussions. The retained programme is useful for understanding the scope of the meeting, including local research on trauma, paediatric services and acute surgical care; it does not establish that recordings are available.

- Laparoscopic appendicitis treatment and surgical pathology.
- Trauma registries, abdominal injuries and acute surgical units.
- Endovascular aortic repair, access priorities and workforce training.
