This may include the promotion of each others’ Scientific Conferences, possible exchanges and Fellowships, and potential joint meetings. The exact wording in the Association’s Memorandum and Articles is: “The Council may from time to time resolve that one or more national or international organisations be invited to be affiliated to the Association without payment of a fee and thus to be recognised as having a particular relationship with the Association, often for mutual benefit. Such organisations shall upon affiliation become Designated Societies and at the discretion of the Council may be included in the Association’s mailings and may be invited to be represented at the Association’s meetings upon such terms as the Council shall decide”. Bournemouth, 11th to 13th May 2011 INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: 21st CENTURY SURGERY DESIGNATED SOCIETIES The first two Designated Societies were the British Journal of Surgery Society and General Surgeons Australia, and we are delighted, this year, to confer Designated Society Status on the Swedish Surgical Society. The Association is very keen to forge similar reciprocal links with sister associations, societies and Colleges around the world, and we are pleased to welcome representatives from the following organisations to the 2011 International Surgical Congress: British Journal of Surgery Society New Zealand Association of General Surgeons Association of Surgeons of India General Surgeons Australia Association of Anaesthetists of Great Britain and Ireland Association of Surgeons of South Africa College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa West African College of Surgeons PARALLEL CONFERENCES The British Intestinal Failure Alliance (BIFA) will be holding their Annual Scientific Meeting on Wednesday 11th May 2011 in the Bay View Suite at the Bournemouth International Centre. BIFA is a special interest grouping within the British Association of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BAPEN), and it is hoped that the BIFA scientific programme for the day will also be of interest to a wider surgical audience. Therefore, delegates attending the ASGBI Congress are most welcome to attend BIFA sessions. The Association extends a cordial welcome to Professor Jeremy Powell-Tuck (Chairman of BIFA) and his colleagues. The United Kingdom Medical Students’ Association (UKMSA) is a new student-doctor collaboration, which aims to unite over 40,000 medical students across the UK and provide them with the resources they need to maximise their experience of university. ASGBI is, therefore, delighted that the UKMSA will be holding its inaugural International Medical Student Conference on Wednesday 11th May 2011 in the Purbeck Hall at the Bournemouth International Centre. Thus, we hope to welcome over 300 medical students to Bournemouth, and it is hoped that this will be one of the largest and most prestigious single-day medical student conferences in Europe. ASSOCIATION OF MILITARY SURGEONS We are delighted that the Association of Military Surgeons (AMS) have decided to hold their successful Annual Scientific Conference on Thursday 12th May 2011 in the Purbeck Hall at the Bournemouth International Centre. It is very much hoped that the Military Surgery Conference will also be of interest to a wider general surgical audience, and delegates attending the ASGBI Congress are most welcome to attend most of the Military Surgery sessions. ASGBI extends a warm welcome to Surgeon Vice Admiral Philip Raffaelli (the Surgeon General), Surgeon Captain Professor Mark Midwinter (Defence Professor of Surgery and AMS representative on ASGBI Council) and their colleagues. PROGRAMME As always, the Association wishes to expand on the success of previous meetings and foster greater involvement from the wider surgical community. To that end, this year we are delighted to additionally welcome the British Intestinal Failure Alliance (BIFA), the Association of Military Surgeons (AMS), The United Kingdom Medical Students’ Association (UKMSA) and the Association of Surgeons in Primary Care (ASPC), who will be holding their Conferences in conjunction with the ASGBI Congress. The Association of Surgeons in Primary Care (ASPC) will be holding their Annual Scientific Conference on Friday 13th May 2011 in the Bay View Suite at the Bournemouth International Centre. It is very much hoped that this will encourage closer interaction between primary and secondary care and that the ASPC scientific programme will also be of interest to a wider surgical audience. Therefore, delegates attending the ASGBI Congress are most welcome to attend ASPC sessions. The Association extends a cordial welcome to Mr Raj Dhumale (President of ASPC) and his colleagues. 7 GENERAL INFORMATION Bournemouth International Centre CONFERENCE REGISTRATION DESK The Conference Registration Desk will be situated in the entrance foyer to the Bournemouth International Centre, where delegate bags, badges and individual tickets must be collected on arrival.

He has a long and continuing interest in undergraduate teaching and surgical training, and his present research interests are within the fields of endocrine surgery and metabolism, particularly focusing on calcium and bone mineral metabolism. Professor Nordenström has been awarded the Association’s 2011 British Journal of Surgery Travelling Fellowship, and will be visiting a number of centres around the UK prior to the Congress. 19 Bournemouth, 11th to 13th May 2011 INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: 21st CENTURY SURGERY 20 Professor Martin Birchall Martin Birchall is Professor of Laryngology and Consultant Laryngologist at the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital at University College London. Since 1995, Professor Birchall has been attempting to harness the best of biomedical science to support restoration of function to people whose throats have been damaged by accident and disease, including cancer. This includes the understanding of laryngeal immunity to help people with inflammatory (laryngitis) and malignant (throat cancer) conditions; repairing paralysed laryngeal nerves; and investigating viral (papillomatosis) and bacterial infections of the throat. With the ultimate goal of achieving complete replacement of the larynx for persons in whom it is destroyed by trauma or cancer, this work is now being brought together into parallel themes of stem-cell/tissue-engineered airway replacements, and laryngeal transplantation.

Station 2: Demonstration of Laparoscopic suturing and honing of skills using the LAP Mentor and Haptica ProMIS simulators The LAP Mentor™ multi-disciplinary LAP surgery simulator enables simultaneous hands-on practice for a single trainee or a team. The system offers training opportunities to new and experienced surgeons for everything from perfecting basic laparoscopic skills to performing complete laparoscopic surgical procedures. In addition, the improved haptic interface on the new LAP Mentor II offers enhanced tactile feedback, performance and reliability. ProMIS™ retains a �mixed reality’/hybrid approach of using virtual reality and physical reality, using real instruments so that users practise with the same instruments they will use in the Operating theatre and uniquely enables users to interact with virtual and physical models in the same unit while providing accurate, comprehensive feedback on performance. Station 3: Practice laparoscopic stapling techniques using TASKit laparoscopic training systems TASKit (Train Anywhere Skill Kit) portable, collapsible trainers enable practice basic of laparoscopic skills privately, on your own time, at your pace, and at your chosen location, with additional practice set to be used with the TASKit Basic Kit and enables you to simulate skills similar to the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery accreditation tasks offered through the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES).

It is not an attempt to cover every aspect of writing, nor is it possible to go into detail of the pros and cons of different types of study design or data interpretation. Instead, this course focuses on those basic skills common to all published work that can make the difference between acceptance and rejection. The course is designed to be interactive and is divided into short interactive sessions, each consisting of one or more brief tutorials, a series of related tasks, small group discussion and a review. Many of the text examples included have been taken from papers published in the British Journal of Surgery over the past few years.

Helen was determined to write about her experience, so that it might help others with cancer. She brought hope and courage to many people and was keen also to tell her story through her favourite medium television. It was appropriate that the Cancer Symposium at the ASGBI Annual Scientific Meeting in Cardiff in 2000 was dedicated to Helen’s memory and that the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity has subsequently sponsored an annual travelling Fellowship for a world authority on cancer to lecture each year at the ASGBI Congress. The prominence given to this lecture is a fitting testament to Helen and continues to inspire us in our search for a cure. 2001, Birmingham THE FUTURE OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY Bournemouth, 11th to 13th May 2011 INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: 21st CENTURY SURGERY HELEN ROLLASON MEMORIAL LECTURE Professor Cornelius Van de Velde (Leiden) 2002, Dublin THE FUTURE OF COLORECTAL CANCER SURGERY Professor Victor Fazio (Cleveland Clinic, Ohio) 2003, Manchester MULTI MODALITY APPROACHES TO THE TREATMENT OF LIVER METASTASES Professor Yuman Fong (New York) 2004, Harrogate CURRENT STATUS OF SENTINEL NODE BIOPSY IN THE UNITED STATES Professor Armando Giuliano (Santa Monica) 2005, Glasgow CHANGING PARADIGMS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF BREAST CANCER Professor Umberto Veronesi (Milan) 2006, Edinburgh CANCER CARE SHOULD BE DISEASE BASED, NOT DISCIPLINE BASED Professor Murray Brennan (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre, New York) 2007, Manchester THE MULTI-DISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF RECTAL CANCER Dr Ted Copeland II (President of the American College of Surgeons) 2008, Bournemouth THE CHALLENGE OF CANCER CARE Professor Karol Sikora (Imperial College, London) 2009, Glasgow SURGERY AND THE UK TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE AGENDA Professor Sir Alexander Markham (Leeds) 2010, Liverpool THE PREVENTION OF COLORECTAL CANCER Professor Sir John Burn (Newcastle upon Tyne) 2011, Bournemouth SURGERY AND COLORECTAL CANCER: NEW PARADIGMS Dr David Rothenburger (Minneapolis, USA) 54 The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity was founded in 1999 and is the legacy of Helen Rollason MBE, a pioneering female television sports presenter, broadcaster and a fundraiser, who died of cancer aged 43. Helen gave her name and image to help attract national and international support and the Helen Rollason Cancer Charity was established by her oncologist, Professor Neville Davidson (chairman of the charity). The charity funds two cancer support centres and a cancer research laboratory. In an environment of peace and tranquillity, complementary therapies, counselling and support groups are available to people with cancer, their families, carers and friends. The support centres – one in Essex and one in London – are for people with all types of cancer at all stages: whether newly diagnosed or longer term, throughout treatment and after treatment is completed. The support centre in Essex also provides manual lymph drainage. The Helen Rollason Research Laboratory, which was originally opened in April 2003, is located within and managed in collaboration with Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford. Pioneering work continues to gather pace. We currently have scientists undertaking research into breast cancer, using freshly collected tumour specimens and blood samples from breast cancer patients. Our aim is to gain a greater understanding of breast cancer from these projects which could potentially result in better treatment options for patients, better prognosis and higher survival rates. The charity relies on public donations and receives no government funding.
