The Complete Guide to the ASGBI Emergency General Surgery Symposium 2026

The ASGBI Emergency General Surgery Symposium 2026 is a one-day hybrid meeting for the emergency general surgery and trauma community. It takes place on 12 November 2026 at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London, with in-person and online attendance explicitly described by ASGBI. The event is aimed at the full surgical team delivering unplanned surgical care, including consultants, SAS doctors, surgical residents, medical students, allied healthcare professionals, advanced clinical practitioners and industry representatives. The public page says the 2026 symposium will focus on the delivery and running of the modern EGS service, including ambulatory acute care presentations, remote monitoring, management and scoring of common presentations for risk stratification, and technology-enabled approaches to patient-centred care. Registration had not yet opened at the time of scraping; ASGBI states that registration will open in summer 2026. Abstracts are also due to be invited from summer 2026, but no abstract deadline, categories, presentation formats, fees or CPD points were published on the inspected pages. The page does support practical planning: this is a national ASGBI event, it has a hybrid format, it includes expert faculty, networking and exhibition elements, and it is particularly relevant to trainees or junior doctors working in acute general surgery, emergency surgery or trauma.
