Programme Design
Abstract Submission Deadline:
1st February 2011
The 18th Annual Scientific Meeting of UKCS will offer the traditional clinical presentations from opinion leaders as well as from the up and coming experts in our field and of course the free papers submitted.
Over the years, the UKCS Conference has enjoyed expert speakers who have offered insights to motivate and provoke thought. For 2011 we have invited some leading and inspirational speakers from the UK and abroad. We hope that industry will also offer satellite symposia to showcase new techniques and products to enhance our practice.
During the main programme we have Keynote Presentations and State of the Art Lectures followed by Challenging Cases, Debates and Free Paper Sessions. Those presenting Posters will have the advantage of discussing their work with leaders in the field during planned poster walks.
Meet the Expert is planned for this year. Over each of the lunch periods groups of up to 10 delegates can book to meet the Expert. Places will be pre-booked.
