Pybus Lecture & NESS/NESTAC Scientific Day 2021
Online Event
7 May 2021 14:00 – 17:50 BST
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.
The day will be concluded by Prof D Deehan who will give a much anticipated talk on the Past, Present and Future of Robotic Surgery.
