AAGL will be hosting their annual congress in Nashville from the 5th - 9th November.  I will be travelling to Tennessee to attend the congress.  This is a great opportunity to network with our international colleagues and continue our life long learning.  AGES will be hosting an informal drinks reception at the meeting.  If there are AGES members attending AAGL, please notify the Secretariat and we can send you details of the reception closer to the time.

We held our Laparoscopic Anatomy and Pelvic Dissection and Demonstration Workshops this month.  Dr Michael Wynn-Williams held workshops on the 12th,13th and 19th August.  One of these was the Advanced Lap-Dissection Workshop, open to those who have previously attended a dissection workshop.  This event allows advanced pelvic surgeons a greater understanding of complex pelvic anatomy.  This year, we also held a virtual Lap-Dissection Demonstration Workshop.  This was aimed at all RANZCOG trainees and specialists.  This workshop enabled participants the opportunity to expand their knowledge of what lies beneath the pelvic and abdominal peritoneum from the comfort of their own couches.  We hope to run this workshop regularly to allow members access to this educational opportunity without the need for travel.  There will be workshops running in person again later this year, and dates are currently being finalised for 2024.  If you wish to attend one of these highly popular events, then ensure you register early to avoid missing out.
