An essential update for the general and specialist surgeon on preventing complications, managing them effectively and discussing best practices.
12 CPD points.
The Glasgow Surgical Forum returns this year with a focus on one of the most critical aspects of surgical practice: managing complications. Under the theme 'Complications in general surgery: lessons, strategies, and solutions', the meeting will bring together surgeons from across the UK and beyond to engage in open, practical, and forward-thinking discussions.
Complications are an inevitable part of surgical practice, yet how we anticipate, recognise, and respond to them defines our commitment to patient safety and improvement. This year’s forum will explore real-world challenges and solutions through keynote lectures, case-based discussions, and interactive panel debates. Sessions will cover technical pitfalls, decision-making under pressure, multidisciplinary management, and innovations in complication prevention.
The meeting aims to foster an environment of learning and collaboration, where experiences, both successful and adverse, are shared candidly to advance surgical care. Delegates will gain insights into strategies for prevention, early detection, and resolution, while also considering the evolving landscape of surgical education, training, and teamwork.
Whether you are a trainee, consultant, or part of the wider surgical team, the Glasgow Surgical Forum offers a platform to learn, reflect, and contribute to improving outcomes in general surgery.
