Mr Moiad Al-Azzam / Dear Colleague
On behalf of the organising committee, we cordially invite you to the 3rd Annual Conference of BIARGS to be held on the 6th-7th September 2012. Building on the success of our two previous meetings, the 3rd Annual Conference is set to reflect the most up to date advances and address challenges in this rapidly evolving field; we promise you an exciting scientific and social program
Video demonstration on Technical steps, intricate procedure description, trouble-shooting and perioperative considerations in Robotic surgery are a few examples of this informative programme. How can Robotic surgery programs and training progress within the context of a stretched National Health Services? What’s on the horizon for robotic surgery in gynaecology and gynaecological oncology? These are some of the challenging questions to be answered during the conference. Interesting debates as well as breakout sessions for doctors and nurses will ensure everybody is engaged throughout what promises to be two very exciting days.
This conference will be held in the heart of the vibrant city of Manchester with its renowned heritage sites, shopping centres, football clubs, and readily accessible international airport making it an ideal location for an enjoyable and memorable professional and social gathering.
We look forward to welcoming you in Manchester for BIARGS 2012.
