ABOUT

This is the 16th annual course in Spinal surgery (previously known as The Hammersmith Spine Course) and is an annual International forum for trainees, consultants and industry scientists.

Who should attend?
Consultants and surgeons in training who would like to receive a focused educational experience on current concepts in Spinal Surgery. The course would also provide a good grounding for physical therapists, nurses, GPs with interest in spine and practising surgeons wanting to update their current experience or learn more about other techniques.

Why is this course different from others?
It brings together speakers with specialist skills in specific spinal topics. The surgical techniques section aims to give delegates an opportunity to learn a surgical technique from a specialist who regularly performs that operation and can therefore advise on surgicals tips and pitfalls.

Course Organisers
The course is organised by the Department of Orthopaedic Spinal Surgery, Imperial College, London:

• Mr Mo Akmal, Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon

• Mr Jonathan Johnson, Consultant Orthopaedic Spinal Surgeon

• Mr Christian Ulbricht, Consultant Neurosurgeon
