SURGERY SYSTEMS LIVE

A one-day conference at the ICC on Centenary Square on the technology going into the operating theatre, 08:00 to 17:30.

The themes are robotic surgery systems and how to scale a programme safely, innovations in laparoscopy, data science in surgery and using actionable data to drive outcomes, digital surgery with immersive platforms and intraoperative data, wound closure and surgical site infection, and building sustainable theatre pathways. Run by the Global Surgery Unit at the University of Birmingham, it is aimed at surgeons, trainees and healthcare leaders. The ticket covers full access, lunch, CPD points and a networking drinks reception from 17:20. Tickets 49 pounds.

Why go: surgical robotics and intraoperative data are where a lot of medtech money is going, and this is the clinical side of that conversation. Best for healthtech founders, clinical innovation leads and medical device companies.
