Ready for something new? Announcing the Future of Surgery Festival, a celebration of surgery, powered by you. This first-of-its-kind UK festival will bring the whole surgical community together in a space designed for connection, inspiration and innovation. Over two days, you’ll explore bold ideas, hear fresh perspectives and get hands-on with the latest technology. 20–21 April 2026 | ICC Birmingham Bookings open in the autumn, but you can register your interest now: https://ow.ly/svE350Wr7wY |

Along with the other surgical Royal Colleges we have supported NHS England and NHS Improvement's new 'Clinical guide to surgical prioritisation during the coronavirus pandemic.' The guidance provides a framework for ensuring patients with serious conditions continue to receive the treatment they need.
