Professor Averil Mansfield:

"The place was buzzing with enthusiastic students and I found it quite inspiring. The organisation was superb and impressive. A great day for the surgeons of tomorrow to begin their surgical journey. I would strongly recommend it."

Dr David Pencheon:

"I was overwhelmed by the level of commitment shown by the students and the professionalism in the organisation of the conference. It was certainly a model that other medical schools can learn from. And I learnt a lot from the challenging questions from all the students!"

3rd Annual Scalpel Undergraduate Surgical Conference

Saturday, 22nd October 2011
University of Manchester

In affiliation with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Scalpel would like to welcome you to our 3rd annual undergraduate surgical conference.

This year’s conference promises to be a fantastic event for all medical students as Scalpel commemorates its 10th anniversary and celebrates its achievement of receiving the Surgical Society of the Year Award, presented by the UK Medical Students’ Association and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

The SUSC will be offering medical students the opportunity to deliver both oral and poster presentations, with prizes given for the best presentations as judged by a select panel of senior surgeons. Those students without any original work to submit this year (e.g. pre-clinical students) may still have the opportunity present by submitting a ‘critical discussion’ abstract addressing one of the suggested topics for 2011.

Keynote speakers include:

Professor Sir Keith Porter
UK’s only professor of clinical traumatology at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and the Royal Centre for Defence Medicine in Birmingham.

Mr Douglas McGeorge
Consultant plastic surgeon working exclusively in the private sector and council member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS).
