The aim of the programme is to cover an aspect of spine surgery for everyone. All of us as consultants are aware of our responsibility to train the next generation. We wish to encourage the safe practice of surgery of the spine. This safe practice includes those who work with us but do not provide spine surgery.
An award of 6 hours CPD for Friday and 3 hours CPD for Saturday have been approved by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (Recognition number – RCSEd01621). Accomodation for the Friday evening will be at the College Hotel at 10 Hill Place Hotel and is included in registration thanks to our sponsors. The final programme is below (updated 12/11/2015).
