RACS 87th Annual Scientific Congresswith the American College of Surgeonsand ANZCA Annual Scientific Meeting

Welcometo the

RACS ASC 2018 Pocket Program Join the conversation I @RACSurgeons #RACS18 32

Conveners’ WelcomeDear Fellows, Trainees and Associates,

On behalf of the organising committee we welcome you to the 87th Annual Scientific Congress (ASC) at the International Convention Centre, Sydney from Monday 7th May to Friday 11th May 2018.

This is a unique ASC, being in partnership with the American College of Surgeons, as well as the ANZ College of Anaesthetists.

The theme of “Reflecting On What Really Matters” was selected with your interests in mind. In today’s world surgeons are faced with increased regulations and very complex social and medical issues so it can be easy to feel disillusioned and lose sight of why we became surgeons in the first place.

The plenaries and their speakers have been chosen with much deliberation and with an emphasis on “take home value” for all delegates.

We are also privileged to include some highly renowned speakers from the DCAS event on Monday which can only add to the strength of the academic program.

Surgeons are under ever increasing pressure to perform in a highly complex environment. They have very little spare time – if any really. So we hope that you will also enjoy attending a specialty dinner or two with your colleagues – most especially the gala dinner on Thursday evening.

We have some incredibly well credentialed speakers in this year’s program – including USA Vice Admiral, Raquel Bono, Director Defense Health Agency who will be delivering the Syme Oration on Monday.

On behalf of the organising committee and all of the section conveners we look forward to welcoming you to the new International Convention Centre, Sydney at Darling Harbour for an educationally stimulating and a socially rewarding ASC 2018.

Yours sincerely,

Arthur Richardson FRACS FACS ASC Convener

Julie Howle FRACS FACS ASC Scientific Convener

President’s WelcomeDear Colleagues,

In the 87th year of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons’ Annual Scientific Congress, the meeting returns to Sydney for the first time since 2006.

The theme of this Congress is “Reflecting On What Really Matters” – a theme I know you’ll agree is particularly relevant in this current era.

The competing demands we are all facing as surgeons are often overwhelming. In these circumstances, the power and value of reflection can sadly be overlooked. This year’s program will help us to focus on the importance of reflection in practice.

The uniqueness of this ASC also sees us partner with the American College of Surgeons for the first time, as well as the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists who were last with us in 2014, and this has enabled us to combine plenaries on critically important issues facing our profession.

The organising committee has assembled a diverse array of leading international and national visitors in their particular fields. International visitors constantly tell us that the ASC is unique – unique in that it offers so many combined sessions as well as opportunities to learn from colleagues across many different specialties.

Of course, the ASC also offers a welcome opportunity to connect with colleagues in a collegiate atmosphere. Apart from the specialty dinners on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and a full social program of daily educational and social tours, I look forward to welcoming you all to the gala dinner on Thursday evening.

There is no doubt that the ASC 2018 executive and the section conveners have brought together a program of exceptional speakers, including Dame Clare Marx DBE,DL,FRCS Immediate Past President RCSEng and USA Vice-Admiral, Raquel Bono, Director Defense Health Agency, who is this year’s Syme Orator.

For information on how to download the ASC 2018 App and build your own personalised program please visit asc.surgeons.org

Finally, congratulations to the ASC 2018 Sydney organising committee. Together we look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful city of Sydney.

Warm wishes,

John Batten FRACS RACS President
