"Embracing Change, Maintaining Excellence"
We look forward to hosting a fantastic BSGE Annual Scientific Meeting, providing you all with a stimulating, interactive educational experience in an immersive virtual environment.
We have 3 days of gynaecological endoscopy to enjoy. Days 1 and 2 will include key note lectures from national and international experts, and a range of events ranging from debates, surgical tutorials, practical ‘tips and tricks’, free communications and our ever popular ‘Pecha Kucha’. Q&As will be a key component of our offering and your engagement will be pivotal. At the end of each day, a panel will provide a round up and review, debating topics and identifying the key take home messages. A ‘bonus’ Day 3 will provide a live surgery extravaganza with a range or laparoscopic, robotic and hysteroscopic procedures from several theatres across the UK.
We have 3 auditoriums for you to access the largest choice of presentations and events that has ever been possible compared to previous ASMs. Furthermore, we have an amazing exhibition hall where you can access industry stands, acquire information about important technologies and have live web, phone or video chat with representatives. There will also be a networking area to catch up with old friends and practitioners with similar interests.
If that is not enough, we have a choice of 6 pre-congress workshops to attend including hysteroscopy, endometriosis surgery, robotic surgery, cadaveric anatomic dissection, RIGS intermediate laparoscopy and an Endometriosis Nurse training day.
So, get your study leave in and take a well-deserved break from work. We really believe that there is something for everyone.
