Cardiff Registrar Meeting – record number of delegates…
June 10th, 2011
On 19-20th May 2011, Cardiff Spinal Unit in association with Surgi C held a ‘Current Concepts in Spinal Surgery’ meeting at the Vale Hotel, Cardiff. This meeting attracted 46 delegates from across the UK, all of whom were keen to be part of this interactive, dynamic, discussion based meeting. The ‘Current Concepts in Spinal Surgery’ meeting is part of the high calibre educational services provided by the Surgi C Academy.
This fantastic meeting benefited from a first class faculty and a large number of delegates and was commented on as being an ‘excellent’ meeting. Surgi C would like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty for this year’s meeting:
• Mr Sashin Ahuja
• Mr Adrian Casey
• Mr Iqroop Chopra
• Mr James Cordell-Smith
• Mr Paul Rhys Davies
• Mr John Howes
• Mr Stuart James
• Mr Nitin Patel
• Mr Tony Reece
• Mr Jayesh Trivedi
The faculty provided interesting and stimulating discussions on the topics covered within the agenda. As a result, the delegates benefited from a more interactive way of learning and had the opportunity to be involved in lively discussions on a ‘good variety of relevant topics’. Perhaps this is why this meeting is rapidly growing to be the largest educational meeting in the UK for trainee’s with a spinal interest.
The Surgi C Academy has been specifically designed to ensure first class education and support is provided to surgeons, nurses, registrars and other NHS Stakeholders. For further information on the Surgi C Academy or any of our forthcoming meetings, please click here.
Cardiff Spinal Unit, in association with Surgi C are looking forward to hosting the next annual meeting on 14-15th June 2012.

Successful Theatre Practitioner Training session….
April 11th, 2011
As part of the Surgi C Academy, we organise theatre practitioner training sessions which are held across the UK on request from the local hospitals. Last week witnessed another successful training session being carried out, this time at the Royal College of Surgeons, London.
As a team, we are tremendously pleased with the feedback, especially where the only negative feedback was that the training session should be held over 2 days rather than 1. Perhaps this is something that may be developed in the future.
We are looking forward to holding the next training session in Bristol on 22nd June. If you would like any further information, please contact marketing@surgi-c.com.

Interesting Article on Spinal Surgeons
March 24th, 2011
We have just come across an interesting article in the Daily Mail about spinal surgeons across the UK – http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1368667/Spinal-operations-high-risk–trust-We-asked-experts-themselves.html.
This article recommends their top 10 spinal surgeons that have been decided upon by canvassing other surgeons, and as the Daily Mail sites, this isn’t scientific.
We would be interested to hear your thoughts and comments on this article?
