Surgery conferences

This meeting connects medical students, trainees and others interested in neurology and neurosurgery with clinical specialists and practical training. Morning presentations cover neurointerventional radiology, skull-base surgery and neuromodulation. Afternoon sessions combine theory and practice in craniotomy, burr-hole technique and bone-flap fixation; pedicle-screw placement; upper-limb sensory and motor nerve-conduction studies; and catheter navigation using a neurointerventional simulator. No prior simulator experience is required. Posters and sponsor exhibits run during breaks and lunch, with poster prizes at closing. Conference proceedings are planned for Surgical Neurology International. The event runs November 21, 2026, 08:30–17:30 Europe/London (GMT, UTC+00:00), at the James McCune Smith Learning Hub, University Avenue, Glasgow G12 8QW, UK. General admission costs £45 plus £1.13 service fee. The £70 ticket plus £1.75 fee adds individual CV feedback and a trainee Q&A panel.

The scientific programme examines future directions in urology, including oncology, robotics, artificial intelligence, registries, reconstruction, functional urology and andrology. International and regional faculty will discuss developments in research and clinical care, alongside the ANZUNS programme. Attendance requires paid registration. Industry representatives who provide or promote urology-related products or services must participate as sponsors or exhibitors rather than register as delegates. Abstract submissions have closed. Authors must accept their offers by 6 November 2026, presenters must register by 11 December, and early-bird registration ends on 15 January 2027.

The society’s annual scientific meeting brings together professionals working in spine surgery, care and research to exchange evidence and discuss advances in the field. The programme supports learning from specialist researchers and clinicians, scientific discussion and collaboration across the spine-care community. The 38th meeting takes place at the Adelaide Convention Centre from 2 to 4 April 2027. Abstract submissions close on 7 January 2027. Registration is scheduled to begin on 9 November 2026, with early-bird pricing ending on 26 February 2027.

This joint meeting connects stereotactic and functional neurosurgery with multidisciplinary neuromodulation. The first day offers workshops on deep-brain stimulation programming, non-invasive stimulation, pain interventions, botulinum toxin and functional neurosurgical techniques. Subsequent plenaries and parallel sessions address psychiatry, neurosurgery, neurology and pain, including new technologies, clinical research and contributed papers. Sessions begin at 08:00 local time each day, with the final free-paper sessions ending at 17:45 on 9 May.
