King’s Health Partners Academic Surgical Grand Round – Thursday 25th March at 5:00 pm

March 25, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm GMT

King’s Health Partners Academic Surgery aims to facilitate outstanding surgical science collaborations, improve education for the next generation of surgical trainees and inspire students pursuing exciting surgical careers. One of its flagship services is the launch of a new Grand Round series, offering focused monthly presentations from renowned experts on surgical innovations across specialties.

Each Grand Round welcomes two prestigious speakers to give a seminar, with one focussing on a surgical specialty and the second sharing a keynote lecture which is awarded the Bulkley-Barry-Cooper Surgical Professorship certificate.

This world-class innovative and dynamic lecture series has a simple aim; to provide a framework in which the King’s Health Partners surgical community can come together and network, develop insights, collaborative solutions and relationships with national and international colleagues.

During 2021, the fourth Thursday of every month will be dedicated to the King’s Health Partners Academic Surgical Grand Round from 5pm to 6pm.

The next event in the Surgical Grand Round schedule will take place on Thursday 25th March, 5-6pm on upper GI Surgery. It will be chaired by Mr. Abrie Botha, consultant upper gastrointestinal and general surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, with presentations from:

Dr Sebastian Zeki, on ‘Intelligent physiology: a roadmap to using concurrent physiology as a surgical guide’.

Dr Zeki is a consultant gastroenterologist at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. He has a particular interest in endoscopic therapy as applied to upper gastrointestinal disease having published widely on both malignant and benign conditions of the stomach and oesophagus. He is also particularly interested in data science as applied to gastroenterology and has several active grants investigating both the interactive simulation of physiological upper GI disease and the use of data science to optimise care for gastroenterology patients.

Mr. William Knight, on ‘Poetry in motion: The evolving use of intraoperative endoflip planimetry to tailor per-oral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in 2 UK centres.’

Mr William Knight MD FRCS is a post CCT fellow in oesophago-gastric surgery at Nottingham University Hospital.
