Pybus Lecture & NESS/NESTAC Scientific Day 2022

Join us for our online version of the annual Pybus Lecture and NESS/NESTAC Scientific Day.

This is an excellent opportunity for juniors with an interest in surgery to get an overview of what trials and research there is going on in the region and how to get involved. There will then be the chance for undergrads, juniors and SpRs to present their latest research at a regional meeting, with three prizes up for grabs.

We have an illustrious international Pybus speaker this year Dr Alice Wei from MSK, USA.

The Pybus Lecture “Regionalisation of Care and Quality Improvement in Surgery”

The event will be held over Zoom – link to be sent out at a later date.
