Friday 8th November 2024, King’s College Hospital, London
The BTS will hold a one-day meeting to bring together researchers and clinicians to examine major issues around ageing and deceased donor kidney, and liver, transplantation.
As the UK’s population ages and accumulates multiple co-morbidities, transplant units are facing progressively difficult choices around the utilisation of organs from older donors, and how to optimise outcomes in elderly recipients. The meeting will examine the fundamental biological changes in ageing organs, novel interventions, and technological approaches to the older donor, with UK-based and international speakers. The final session will focus on ‘pre-habilitation’ and will update colleagues on UK and international evidence in this increasingly important field.
Registration will open soon. BTS Members will be notified by email when registration opens.

The Women in Surgery conference aims to inspire women to pursue surgery by tackling the gender imbalances in the field demonstrated by the fact that only 14.7% of all UK consultant surgeons are women.
As part of the conference, every year we have a Speed Mentoring Circuit, where we give students the unique, invaluable opportunity to talk to surgeons from a diverse range of specialties and gain insight into what it is like to pursue a surgical career. During this time, you will become mentors for the day while answering questions and giving advice to aspiring surgeons.
We intend to hold this workshop at the University College London Campus on Sunday, 26th November 2023. There will be two sessions – each running for an hour and both will take place during the afternoon session between 1:30pm – 3:30pm.
We would be extremely grateful if you would be able to participate in either one or even both sessions!
Below is the sign up link for the mentoring circuit
In return for your generosity, a certificate will be provided for attending!
Thank you, we greatly appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at womeninsurgery.ucl@gmail.com.

Adding your name and decision to the NHS Organ Donor Register is the best way to record your decision. Your family will be expected to support what you have decided, so you should also tell them what you want. Adults and children can each save up to nine lives by being an organ donor and improve many more lives by donating tissue too.
Show your support by pledging to record your decision this Organ Donation Week.

For this edition, the TLJ Steering Committees have selected nine topics. For each topic, the Committees will conduct evidence-based reviews, grade the evidence, and develop preliminary statements that will be discussed and voted in Prague by a wider panel, including jury members.
