Emergency General Surgery Symposium 2026

Emergency General Surgery Symposium 2026 is ASGBI's one-day hybrid meeting at the Royal College of Surgeons of England in London. It is intended for the whole team delivering unplanned surgical care: consultant surgeons, SAS doctors, surgical residents, medical students, allied healthcare professionals, advanced clinical practitioners and industry representatives. The published programme outline focuses on running a modern EGS service, ambulatory pathways for acute surgical presentations, remote monitoring, risk scoring and management of common presentations, and technology-enabled patient-centred care. The event-platform page adds digital innovation, integrated care delivery and preventative health strategies, with an exhibition and structured opportunities to meet colleagues across grades and professions.

Abstracts are open to emergency surgery teams across all specialties and must relate to Emergency General Surgery. Stated topics are NELA/ELLSA, EGS guidelines, EGS research, frailty and futility in an EGS setting, consent in EGS and trauma, and trauma. The submission deadline is midnight on Sunday 20 September 2026. Submissions are peer reviewed: the highest-scoring abstracts are selected for oral or talking-poster presentation, while other accepted work appears as ePosters in the ASGBI event-platform Poster Gallery. Oral and talking-poster presenters must attend in person, and an author must register or the abstract will be withdrawn. The public Oxford Abstracts route requires sign-in, so word limit, structure and figures/tables rules remain unverified.

Attendance is available in person or online. Early registration closes at midnight on Thursday 15 October 2026. The published fee graphic shows ASGBI member prices of £95 before the cutoff and £125 afterwards, and non-member prices of £190 and £220 respectively. ASGBI says members should log in to obtain the member fee. No separate trainee or student rate, general registration closing date, named faculty, timed agenda or explicit CPD accreditation/points were published on the pages checked. The venue address is 38–43 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PE.
