Surgical education has been under scrutiny lately, and there is a need for innovation and technology to improve its effectiveness and efficiency both in and out of the training facilities. Despite the challenges, trainers and trainees have made significant progress and developed good practices that we aim to capture and build on for the future.


Our upcoming Learning Conference, taking place on Wednesday 27 September 2023, at the College in London and online, will address these exciting questions and challenges. Leading figures in the surgical community will be present, discussing healthcare technologies, sustainability, and future steps for surgery. Attendees can expect a fantastic programme of talks, networking opportunities, and the chance to shape the conversation on surgical education.

For those unable to attend in person, the conference will have a virtual option available. Through our events platform, you can access talks and activities, and network with delegates and speakers, sharing your views and questions.

This conference has been accredited by the Royal College of England up to 5.75 CPD points.
