Good to see @basl_events advertise the #AndyBurroughs award 2026

The no. of applications has reduced in recent years which will be related to imposter syndrome rather than a lack of young UK research talent

Reasons to apply:
- Why not
- Platform to present
- Legacy is important

Yesterday was a great start to the @roux_group Training Congress 2026!

From Leo Brown’s opening address to the lively GLP‑1 clinical debate, the day delivered a full spectrum of insight, challenge, and inspiration. Standout moments included:

⭐Andrew Smith's keynote and biliary disease update
⭐Prof Tim Underwood's evidence based surgery session
⭐James Glasbey's look at AI’s role in surgical training
⭐Claire Dawkins trauma stations; surgical survival guide
⭐A packed research prize session
⭐And of course, an evening of great conversation over dinner!

Now on to Day Two, and it’s shaping up to be just as strong.

Here’s what’s ahead today:

💠FRCS Part 2 & Viva-based teaching introduction with Prof Alex Phillips & Ms Clara Munro
💠Complex abdominal wall management with Mr Siddek Isreb
💠Training debate: the role of advanced endoscopy in surgical training
💠Subspecialty parallel sessions including viva based teaching, complex MDT cases, and surgical updates
💠“First Do No Harm” — surgical decision making for the comorbid patient with Dr Mark Johnston
💠Afternoon parallel sessions, followed by conference close & prizes with Nicola Raftery

A full day of learning, debate, and hands on development ahead!

And that's a wrap!
What an incredible Spanish UK Collaborative HPB Meeting!

Over the past three days, it has been a privilege to bring together the HPB community for an inspiring programme. From outstanding talks and discussions to strengthening new international relationships with our Spanish colleagues, this year’s Meeting truly showcased the passion and excellence across HPB surgery.

A huge thank you to all our chairs, speakers, delegates and sponsors @BOWAMEDICALUK, @CorzaMedicalUK, INTEGRA NEUROSCIENCES LIMITED, Medtronic, and @ViatrisInc for helping make the Meeting such a memorable success.

And finally, congratulations and thanks to everyone on the GBIHPBA committee along with Sarvjit Wünsch and Sophie Butler for delivering such a fantastic event!
