Events

RISE-UK 2026 is a two-day national conference focused on the future of surgery, surgical robotics, digital innovation, AI, simulation and real-world adoption of next-generation surgical technologies. The event brings together surgeons, trainees, hospital leaders, theatre teams, procurement and transformation leads, industry partners, academics, innovators and policymakers to explore how robotics and emerging technologies can be implemented safely, responsibly and at scale across the NHS and wider healthcare system. It is aimed at surgeons and surgical trainees across specialties, NHS executives and managers, theatre and perioperative teams, innovation and transformation leads, procurement teams, medical technology companies, educators, researchers and anyone involved in shaping the future of surgical care.

SPIRIT Medical Conference for: Spinal Surgeons (Neurosurgeon Orthopaedic Surgeons) Clinicians in the field of traumatic Spinal Cord Injuries , Scientists, Insurance Companies, Solicitors & Barristers

The primary aim of this course is to help to improve the ability to manage often difficult and challenging cases in a simulation environment and share your experiences with like-minded colleagues to gain further understanding and additional skills to manage situations expertly. In collaboration with B. Braun Medical Ltd, it is aimed at trainees, ST1-ST6, providing the relevant knowledge and skills to adequately mange neurosurgical on-calls and ultimately help improve patient care. Early Bird Delegate Ticket: £185 (until 25th September 23:59) Standard Delegate Ticket: £210

This course is aimed at ST3-ST8 level trainees and subspecialty (skull base and cerebrovascular) fellows. Teaching of the approaches are tailored to the specific needs and experience of the individual trainee. This workshop is co-organised by the east and west of Scotland training programs. The program includes complex surgical procedures which cannot be performed by trainees without prior cadaveric exposure. It covers the whole armamentarium of intracranial approaches and provides fundamental insight to very complex procedures. The focus is on enabling trainees to safely approach superficial and deep seated vascular and benign intracranial lesions arising from or being in proximity to the cranial vault or skull base. Trainees will gain a heightened appreciation of the critical structures encountered through these approaches.

A 2 day interactive course aimed at neurosurgical trainees (ST1-6). The workshop is designed to improve interpretation of neuroradiological imaging and focuses on the application of different modalities to enable diagnosis and aid planning of neurosurgical approaches. Learning points are reinforced with bite- sized presentations during the sessions. (48 words)

This 2-day course on Functional Neurosurgery covers both Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and stereotactic lesioning. All aspects of anatomy, patient selection, targeting, surgery, programming, follow up and troubleshooting will be presented by experts and pioneers in the field.

Presentations and debates by leading speakers in the field of Neuromodulation updating all on recent research and developments. The conference aims to bring together neuromodulators (consultants and trainees) as well as scientists.
