 We are going to Fort William for our 50th Annual Conference of the Viking Surgeons Association!
Bruce Tulloh will be the main host, with assistance from local colleagues, current and retired. The dates will be Wednesday 20th to Friday 22nd with the usual social programme starting from Wednesday lunchtime, main academic programme Thursday and Friday morning, and social programme finishing Friday evening. There is a superb academic programme being put together with a wide variety of topics and carefully chosen speakers.  Our 49th Annual Conference starts today for those meeting in person. If you have been unable to make it to Skye, the full day academic programme for tomorrow (Thursday 3rd November) is available as a webinar with help once again from the Faculty of Remote Rural and Humanitarian Healthcare at the RCSEd. Over 40 surgeons and trainees are gathering on Skye, with 70+ already registered on line. See the full programme and then register here. CPD certificates are available for attending the webinar. The lectures will also become available on the RCSEd website, usually a couple of weeks after the conference.
