The 13th Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics is issuing a call for papers on the theme of 'Surgery and Beyond'. This annual symposium is the pinnacle event of the Hamlyn Centre for Medical Robotics, at Imperial College London. It provides an annual forum for surgeons and engineers from across the globe, to network and experience the latest developments in medical robotics attracting world-leading scientists, engineers and clinical practitioners from a wide range of disciplines associated with medical robotics and surgery.
Furthermore, the symposium has received full CPD accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons, which provides formal recognition of the symposium's value among clinical practitioner training and development.
