Meetings

There are some fantastic meetings coming up – the BHS meeting in Manchester in October 2012, the ASGBI hernia sessions in Liverpool in May 2012 and our combined BHS and European Hernia Society meeting in Edinburgh in 2014.

You might even want to consider ‘hopping across the pond’ for the American Hernia Society meeting in New York next March 2012 – nice shopping trip for your partner !?

Our close links with ASGBI has enabled us to have a number of sessions at each annual ASGBI conference. Our most popular sessions have been those that have dealt with biological meshes – some basic science and theory and the practicalities of their use and abuse.  This is a rapidly developing area, which you really need to know about, and we aim to keep you at the cutting edge.

The next full meeting of the British Hernia Society will be in Manchester 2012 in October 2011 – Olympic year.  The local organizer is Aali Sheen and it is likely to be a very well attended event, with an exciting venue and a range of international speakers.

Combined BHS / EHS meeting | Edinburgh | 2014

Equally exciting and something to really look forward to is the 2014 European Hernia Society meeting, which Andrew DeBeaux tendered for and won (against extremely stiff opposition). So it will be in Edinburgh, with Andrew as the local organizer.  We’ll keep you informed.

On behalf of my fellow Board members I would like to thank you for your interest, and we look forward to meeting you at these exciting conferences.

ASiT Conference | Cardiff | Fri 23 – Sun 25 March 2012

We are delighted to announce that the 2012 ASiT Conference will be held in the historic City Hall in Cardiff. Nearly 500 trainees attended the 2011 conference in Sheffield. Educational pre-conference courses, an interactive and informative programme, and our famous Gala Dinner party make this essential for all surgical trainees.
