EGS Symposium 2026 is ASGBI's annual one-day hybrid meeting for Emergency General Surgery and Trauma, held at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London with an online attendance option. The event is aimed at the whole surgical team delivering unplanned surgical care, including consultant surgeons, SAS doctors, surgical residents, medical students, allied healthcare professionals, advanced clinical practitioners and industry representatives. The ASGBI page states that the 2026 symposium will focus on delivery and running of the modern EGS service, with expert discussion of ambulatory acute surgical presentations, remote monitoring, management and scoring of common presentations for risk stratification, and technology-enabled solutions to advance patient-centred care.
For trainees, the value is mainly practical and service-focused: it is a national ASGBI meeting in a core general surgery area, with hybrid access, networking and exposure to current EGS service models. The page states that abstracts will be invited from summer 2026, but it did not yet publish the abstract deadline, submission categories, presentation formats or publication outcome during this scrape. Registration is also not open yet; the page says registration for the 2026 symposium will open in the summer, so no delegate fees, early-bird windows or closing dates were visible. CPD status and points were not stated on the rendered pages read during extraction.
