It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to our Innovation in Surgery & Oncology Conference 2024! Following the success of the UK Surgical Travelers Meeting 2022 in Thessaloniki, which brought together surgeons from Great Britain and Greece, we aim to organize a face-to-face European Surgical Forum with a focus on Hepato-Pancreato-Bililary, Gastrointestinal Oncological Surgery & Sarcoma.
This year we are excited about our partnership with Professor Nikolaos Vassos and the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO) who have graciously endorsed this conference. Our efforts have been focused to put together a high-quality scientific program with the participation of experts in each field, with speakers from Greece and abroad, including from major institutions such as Imperial College/Royal Marsden and University of Milan. With our attention to the younger audience the program includes an ESSO round table dedicated to the guidance and development opportunities for young doctors. We have also collaborated with the Junior Doctors’ Association as well as the Scientific Society of Hellenic Medical Students and organized special sessions of interest both to doctors & nurses.
We are also very happy to announce the launch of a travel grant for a Greek medical student to spend an educational month at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London with all expenses generously sponsored by Prince Pavlos.
The conference is organized by the Fifth’ Surgical Department of the European Interbalkan Medical Center and the Department of Surgical Oncology, Athens Medical Center. We would like to thank for their support the honorary Chairmen, Professor Vassilios Papadopoulos, Dean of Faculty of Health Sciences, AUTH, Professor Apostolos Athanasiadis, President of the Medical Society of Thessaloniki, which is also a co-organizer and Dr. Vassili Apostolopoulos, CEO Athens Medical Group. The conference is under the auspice of the Region of Central Macedonia.
Looking forward to welcoming you to Thessaloniki in November 2024!
