 DESIGNATED SOCIETIES
In 2005, the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland initiated the category of
Designated Societies to provide a vehicle for national or international surgical and related
organisations to be recognised as having a particular relationship with the Association and to be
formally affiliated with ASGBI for mutual benefit. This may include the promotion of each others’
INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: A CENTURY OF SURGERY

Scientific Conferences, possible exchanges and Fellowships, and potential joint meetings. The
exact wording in the Association’s Memorandum and Articles is:
“The Council may from time to time resolve that one or more national or international
organisations be invited to be affiliated to the Association without payment of a fee and thus
to be recognised as having a particular relationship with the Association, often for mutual
benefit. Such organisations shall upon affiliation become Designated Societies and at the
discretion of the Council may be included in the Association’s mailings and may be invited to
be represented at the Association’s meetings upon such terms as the Council shall decide”.
The Association is very keen to forge similar reciprocal links with sister associations, societies
and Colleges around the world, and we are pleased to welcome representatives from the
following organisations to the 2013 International Surgical Congress:

General British Journal

Surgeons of Surgery
Glasgow, 1st to 3rd May 2013

PARALLEL CONFERENCES
The Association wishes to expand on the success of previous meetings and foster greater
involvement from the wider surgical community. To that end, this year we are delighted to
welcome back the Association of Trauma & Military Surgery (ATMS) who will be holding their
Annual Scientific Meeting in conjunction with the ASGBI Congress.

ASSOCIATION OF TRAUMA & MILITARY SURGERY
We are delighted that the Association of Trauma & Military Surgery (ATMS) have, again, decided to

surgical audience, and delegates attending the ASGBI Congress are most welcome to attend most of
the Military Surgery sessions. ASGBI extends a warm welcome to Surgeon Air Vice Marshal Paul
Evans (the Surgeon General), Surgeon Captain Professor Mark Midwinter (Defence Professor of
Surgery and ATMS representative on ASGBI Council) and their colleagues. Full details of the ATMS

Surgeon Commander
Anthony Lambert, OBE
Anthony was born and
educated in Plymouth,
where he now works in the
Ministry of Defence Hospital
Unit and Derriford Hospital.
He qualified from Charing
Cross Hospital Medical
School in 1985, during
which time he joined the Royal Navy. Now a
Surgeon Commander, he has seen active service
during the Iran-Iraq conflict, the first Gulf War
and during the period of unrest in the former
Yugoslavia and Bosnia. More recently, he has been
deployed in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
One of the old breed of general surgeon, Anthony
maintains broad surgical skills to enable him to
perform effectively when deployed. He was
awarded a Diploma in Sport and Exercise Medicine
(SEM) by the Joint Royal Colleges of Scotland in
1996 and a Master of Surgery from the University
of Bath in 1998. He passed his Intercollegiate
Examination in 1999 and gained an MSc in SEM
in 2008. Anthony is a fellow of the Royal College
of Surgeons of England and a member of the

Andy Grant
Andy Grant has
experienced more
significant events in his 24
years than most of us will
in an entire lifetime.
When he was 12 years old,
he had to face up to life
without his Mum, who
died after battling
leukaemia. Now he is an Iraq and Afghanistan
war veteran, a former Royal Marine Commando,
an amputee, a father and partner and a
motivational speaker. While serving with 45
Commando, Royal Marines on Herrick 9 in
Helmand Provence, Afghanistan, he was
critically injured when a trip wire attached to
two IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device) was
triggered by the lead man. After receiving life-
saving treatment on the ground from his fellow
Royal Marines, he was airlifted to Camp Bastion
before being flown back to the Royal Centre for
Defence Medicine, Selly Oak Hospital,
Birmingham. Andy suffered 27 separate injuries
and was in hospital for over three months, aged
just 20. He then spent 18 months in and out of
the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre in
Surrey, where he began to adjust to life with his
injuries. With the wounds to his right leg not
healing as hoped, he was faced with a life-
changing decision. After a few hard months
spent speaking with surgeons and his family, on
the 25th of November 2010, he had his right leg
amputated, just below the knee. After five days
in hospital, armed only with a packet of
paracetomol, he was discharged and headed
back to Liverpool. Now, ‘Scouse’ has turned
what most would say are a series of negative
experiences into something positive; he spends
his time travelling round the country raising
money for charity and talking about ‘life beyond
injury’. He continues to overcome adversity,
which he shares with his audience.

Reporting System in Surgery (CORESS), he
works with the Human Factors Group in
advocating the application of Human Factors
theory into clinical practice. At present, Denis
runs a modest medico-legal practice. He

resources to become a Consultant Surgeon in
1992. For 14 years, he worked as a gastrointestinal
surgeon in Yeovil District Hospital, Somerset and
during that time became committed to the
development of novel approaches in surgery. In
2006, transfer to St Mark’s Hospital, London
ensured laparoscopic colorectal surgery became
the default approach to treat most patients with
colorectal cancer or inflammatory bowel disease.
He has represented surgeons as Director of
Education on the Council of the Association of
Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and
Ireland, and been instrumental in setting up two
national programmes with the Cancer Action
Team: the national training programme in
laparoscopic colorectal surgery and the Enhanced
Recovery Partnership Programme. His passion for
training has been developed within his capacity as
Dean of the St Mark’s Hospital Academic Institute
and his thirst for improved techniques to treat
gastrointestinal problems means he leads a
programme developing a novel treatment for early
colon cancer and benign polyps.

INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: A CENTURY OF SURGERY

MOYNIHAN
TRAVELLING FELLOWSHIPS
The prestigious Moynihan Travelling Fellowship, up to the value of £5,000, is available annually by open
competition to Specialist Registrars towards the end of higher surgical training or Consultants within five
years of appointment at the closing date for this application. The Fellowship is intended to enable the
successful candidate to broaden their education and to present and discuss their contribution to British and
Irish surgery overseas. It is not appropriate, however, that the award be used as part-funding for an off-service
year of training.
Candidates must be residents of the United Kingdom or the Republic of Ireland but need not be either Fellows
or Affiliate Fellows of the Association; however they should be engaged in general surgery or in one of its
specialties. A full Curriculum Vitae should be submitted giving details of all past and present appointments and
publications, together with a detailed account of the proposed programme of travel, costs involved and
objectives to be achieved during the Fellowship.
Glasgow, 1st to 3rd May 2013

Short-listed candidates will be invited to attend for interview by the Association’s Scientific Committee. The
Committee will pay particular attention to originality, scope and feasibility of the proposed itinerary. The successful
candidate will be expected to act as an ambassador for British and Irish Surgery and should be fully acquainted with
the aims and objectives of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and its role in surgery.
After the Fellowship, the successful candidate will be required to provide a written report of their Fellowship for
inclusion in the Association’s Journal, and to address the ASGBI International Surgical Congress in 2014. A
critical appraisal of the Centres visited, together with an assessment of how the experience will enhance future
personal and professional development, should form the basis of the report.
Applications should be submitted online at www.asgbi.org.uk by the closing date of Friday 4th October 2013.

The Association is grateful for the generous support

 QR Codes have arrived at ASGBI!
What are QR Codes?
QR (Quick Response) codes are images – like the example shown here – which
can be ‘read’ by any Smartphone or Tablet that is equipped with a camera and a
INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: A CENTURY OF SURGERY

QR reading app. QR codes are similar to barcodes, insofar as they contain

encoded information, although it is possible to embed much more detail in a QR
code. To read a QR code, you need to download and install a QR Reader App,
and there are numerous free apps available through your preferred App store.
In the example shown, the code is a direct link to the ASGBI website homepage.

How are QR Codes going to be used at the ASGBI Congress?

QR codes will be used in two very different ways:
1. Your name, email address and hospital name will be embedded in a QR code on the back of
your Delegate Name Badge. When you visit one of the Industry Exhibitors’ stands, you can
show your badge and its code to them so they can instantly record your contact details if you
would like them to get in touch later. The exhibitors know that such information is privileged,
and have agreed not to divulge it to anyone else and will not use it for any other purpose. We
depend heavily on the financial backing of our exhibitors, and their ability to record ‘footfall’ and
generate interest at their stands enables them to maximise the benefits of their sponsorship.
2. Inside your Delegate Bag will be an A4 booklet containing QR codes for all the Congress
sessions. If you scan the ones you attend with your Smartphone QR reader, you will be able to
Glasgow, 1st to 3rd May 2013

keep a record of the session date and time, the title of the session and the speaker(s). You will
be then able to import this data into a spreadsheet, text file or database, so you can have a
ready-made record of your CPD/CME activity.
We hope that this will be a significant benefit for appraisal and Revalidation.

How can I use the QR code facility for myself?

You will need to download a QR Reader App onto your Smartphone. There are several
available, but we recommend the popular app ‘NeoReader’, which works on both Apple,
Android and other platforms.
Search for ‘NeoReader’ from your App site and download it for free. Once installed, open the app,
point your phone at the code, and off you go!

Where do I find, and how do I extract, the data that I have scanned with
my QR Reader?
Your QR Reader will store the scanned data within the App’s ‘history’. This information - in effect, a
record of your CPD/CME activity - can then be exported into a programme such as a word
processor or spreadsheet.

We hope you enjoy using the QR codes at this year’s Congress, and that you will
find them a useful addition to the services provided by the Association! We
welcome your feedback on ways to make this tool more effective for you and your
fellow members.

STEVE LOVELL (1947 - 2012)

The Association is most sad to report that Steve Lovell died
unexpectedly in December 2012. Steve had been involved with the
conference industry since 1981, and he formed Steve Lovell
Associates (SLA) in 1986. Most of his clients were in the healthcare
sector, where he organised and ran the audio visual part of many
national and international conferences. SLA Ltd has been providing
AV services to the ASGBI International Surgical Congress since 2003,
and Steve will have been well known to many delegates. Always a
dedicated family man, Steve’s son James has taken over the running of the business, and
will be providing the AV at this Congress.
In memory of Steve Lovell, the Association will be awarding an additional one-off Prize in
the DVD session (8.30am to 10.00am on Thursday 2nd May 2013 in the Carron Lecture
Theatre), and James will present the award at the Prize Giving on Thursday evening.

HELEN ROLLASON MEMORIAL LECTURE

INTERNATIONAL SURGICAL CONGRESS: A CENTURY OF SURGERY

In 1997, Helen Rollason, the BBC television sports presenter, was diagnosed with advanced
colonic carcinoma and liver metastases and the Association’s then President, Mr Bernie Ribeiro,
was involved in her care during her last two years. Helen brought hope and courage to many
people and it was appropriate that the Cancer Symposium at the ASGBI Annual Scientific
Meeting in Cardiff in 2000 was dedicated to Helen’s memory. Helen Rollason Cancer Charity
has subsequently sponsored an annual travelling Fellowship for a world authority on cancer to
lecture each year at the ASGBI Congress. The prominence given to this lecture is a fitting
testament to Helen and continues to inspire us in our search for a cure.

funding for nurses who have supported over
3,000 patients at trial centres at North
Middlesex University Hospital, London and at
the Helen Rollason Research Centre at
Broomfield Hospital, Essex.
The charity also has three cancer support centres
at The Rivers Hospital in Hertfordshire, North
Middlesex University Hospital and a stand-alone
centre in Chelmsford, Essex. These centres
provide a friendly, relaxing environment for
patients with all types of cancer at all stages.
Along with their carers, they can receive
counselling and support and patients can also
benefit from complementary therapies, including
massage and reflexology, which work with their
medical treatment and help them manage stress.
At the Hertfordshire and Essex centres, patients
experiencing swelling due to lymphoedema can
also have their symptoms relieved through a
specialist form of massage and compression
bandaging called Manual Lymph Drainage.
Helen Rollason Cancer Charity provides these
services free of charge and relies on public
support to continue this work. It is developing
another stand-alone support centre in Hatfield
Peverel, Essex and aims to open more centres in
cancer units in both private and NHS hospitals.
If you are interested in the charity setting up
a cancer support centre in your local area, or
would like to visit one of the centres, contact
Charity Manager Gregory Camburn on
08456 80 20 47.

a variety of centres and delivering a report at the Congress on their observations and findings.
The Association is most grateful to the British Journal of Surgery Society for this
generous sponsorship, and is honoured to have welcomed the following
