BHS Scientific Meeting – Manchester 2012

The next full meeting of the British Hernia Society will be in Manchester 2012 in October of that year – Olympic year. The local organizer is Aali Sheen and it is likely to be a very well attended event, with an exciting venue (already arranged, but will not be announced till nearer the time) and a range of international speakers.

We have chosen two apparently diverse topics – the Sportsperson’s hernia (Olympic year) and the problem of the Open Abdomen. Truly a meeting of two halves.

They are both relatively rare, but can present real management problems when they land in your lap. We’ll have some answers for you at the meeting, and we’ll be keeping you up to date with details of the full programme.

There will be a call for abstracts early in 2012. This looks set to be an excellent and stimulating meeting, and we look forward to seeing you there – early booking is advised.
