British Hernia Society 14th Annual Conference 2026

The British Hernia Society 14th Annual Conference 2026 runs from 30 November to 1 December 2026 at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. It is aimed at surgeons, researchers and healthcare professionals working in hernia and abdominal wall surgery, and the conference microsite describes it as the premier hernia surgery conference in the UK. The public material confirms expert lectures, international faculty, cutting-edge research presentations, oral and poster-style abstract presentation opportunities, and networking and social events including a drinks reception with non-alcoholic options. Abstract submission is via Oxford Abstracts, but the public handoff redirects to sign-in, so no deadline, categories or publication outcome were visible without logging in. Registration fees are clearly listed on the microsite and include VAT: non-member registration is £594 up to 13 September and £660 after that date; BHS member consultant registration is £492 early and £540 after; trainee, non-consultant and AHP/nurse member registration is £300 early and £360 after; student and patient rates are £120. The page states that BHS membership is free and can give an instant discount. CPD accreditation is asked about in the FAQ, but no answer or CPD point value was visible in the rendered page read.
