Research for Greener Surgery 2024

Following the success of our inaugural Research for Greener Surgery Conference last year (attended by a multidisciplinary audience of 290 delegates), we are running a second conference on 17 December 2024. Please join us to hear from key opinion leaders in sustainability, learn about sustainability research you can get involved in, and share ideas around innovation in sustainability, including a global perspective.

This conference is relevant to:

• Anaesthetists and anaesthetic teams
• Health policy experts
• Healthcare managers
• Health service researchers
• Industry representatives
• Research nurses
• Students
• Surgeons
• Sustainability leads
• Theatre teams

Tickets:

• Non-profit healthcare staff and students: tickets are FREE but require a £50 deposit because at our 2023 conference a third of registered delegates did not attend on the day resulting in food and resource waste. The deposit will be refunded following attendance (minus a £4.88 Eventbrite fee). Tickets can be refunded before 16 November 2024. This tickets can be booked by any non-profit organisation.
• Industry: £100 non-refundable ticket.
