We hope to encourage interest in the specialty from the UKs most promising medical students. Therefore, all presenters will be granted free admission to the entire meeting. Students will have a chance to discuss their work with senior surgeons at the meeting and the best poster will be presented with a national prize at the annual dinner. I would suggest that for anyone considering a careers in the specialty, this represents a tremendous opportunity to be seen in a positive light at an early stage.
