Regional Representatives Conference
Our annual Regional Representatives Conference brings together Surgical Tutors, Regional Specialty Professional Advisors, Regional Directors, College Council members and representatives of education and training bodies to discuss the issues facing surgery today.
The next RCS England Regional Representatives Conference will take place from 9.30am to 4.15pm in Manchester on Friday 10 November 2023. This is a fantastic opportunity for regional representatives from across the College and our partners to come together to understand and shape our work in the years ahead.
