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!
