A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Professor Brian J Rowlands
I am writing this just 4 weeks before the
Annual Scientific Meeting – “A First Class
Service” which takes place in Manchester
18th-20th April 2007. Eighteen months of
planning has culminated in a first class
scientific and social programme. The next
month will see frenetic activity to ensure that
all the components of a successful meeting
are stage-managed in a way that leaves our
Fellows and visitors with happy memories of
the event in which you are about to
participate. Our previous Manchester
meetings have been well received with
compliments about the venue and the quality
of the programme. This year the omens are
good for a repeat performance with Rowan
Parks and Sarah Patton leading the
organisation of the event, ably assisted by
many willing volunteers among the
Executive, Council, ASGBI staff and our
Fellows and Trainees. A special word of
thanks to the local organising committee who
have been full of innovative ideas and enthusiasm to show off all that is best in
Manchester, professionally and as a city.
This year a record number of abstracts (1,217) have been submitted for selection at the
meeting and approximately 50% will be discussed as oral or poster presentations over 3
days. These will include some high quality abstracts competing for the Moynihan Prize
on Thursday afternoon and a significant number of international and European
contributions. These presentations will be built around “themes” rather than “specialist
interest” in an effort to facilitate cross fertilization of ideas across traditional boundaries.
Several other themes are evident. There will be “Update Sessions” presented by the
Specialist Associations, including Orthopaedic, Paediatric, Cardiovascular and Plastic
and Reconstructive Surgery, as well as a look into the future from some of the specialities
within General Surgery.Peri-operative care is represented in sessions discussing
Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS), fluid and electrolyte balance and optimization
of recovery. Training issues and reconfiguration of services will get an airing as well as
simulation, medical management and risk assessment. Emergency care will feature torso
trauma, laparoscopic surgery and acute pancreatitis. Metastatic disease, transplantation,
and renal failure will also feature along with some interactive case presentations. I would
venture to suggest that everyone will find something of interest among the eclectic mix
of specialist and general sessions around the theme of “A First Class Service”.
Our major guest speakers bring international reputation to the United Kingdom. Each
lunchtime at 13.15 hours a Keynote Speaker will discuss a topic of general medical
interest:
• Wednesday – Dame Nancy Rothwell “Translational clinical research in the 21st
century. What can clinicians and biomedical scientists offer each other?”
• Thursday – Professor John Clarke “Is my patient safe in the operating room?”
• Friday – Professor Raymond Tallis “The future of medicine: an ignominious destiny”
I can guarantee that all these lecture will be of high quality, provocative and challenging.
Make sure you lunch early!

Dr Ted Copeland, President of the American College of Surgeons, will deliver the Helen
Rollason lecture on “The multidisciplinary management of Rectal Cancer”. We are
honoured that he is able to attend and share with us his knowledge of clinical practice and
training in Surgical Oncology. The President of the American College of Surgeons is an
Honorary Fellow in perpetuity, strengthening our international links. The other Great
Britain and Ireland Surgical Presidents will preside over their respective College Lectures
with topics as diverse as Irish surgery, surgical standards, breast cancer and surgical
leadership. Last, but by no means least, we have the Opening Plenary Symposium on
Wednesday between 11.00 and 12.30 hours. This will feature an address by Sir Liam
Donaldson who is Chief Medical Officer for England and produced the report on the new
NHS some five years ago, also entitled “A First Class Service”. Recently he has
produced new reports that have sent shock waves through the medical establishment
and have raised concerns about a broad range of issues including self-regulation and
fitness to practice. We have asked him the simple question “Is it still a First Class
Service?” The second part of this session will feature the Challenge of Everest in what
we hope will be an innovative and inspirational departure from the usual fare of scientific
discussion. Get ready to be motivated to reach the highest peaks of personal and
professional performance.
Manchester offers the visitor good hotels, excellent restaurants, theatre, music, pubs and
clubs. There is plenty of opportunity to relax with family and friends once the scientific
programme and Trade Exhibition have closed in the late afternoon. We anticipate a
significant increase in the number of international and European delegates to ASGBI in
2007 and we have encouraged this trend in Europe, internationally and through our
Designated Societies. The meeting is now truly ‘pan-surgical’ and ‘multi-disciplinary’.
Please make our international and European delegates welcome and try to include them
in the social events, fringe meetings and industrial soirees.
Manchester is ready and “A First Class Service” waits to commence its journey. Sample
and savour the many opportunities on offer. Make sure you visit the Trade Exhibition
which is the largest we have staged to date and has several innovative features including
an embedded lecture theatre, a mobile simulation centre and some lifestyle exhibits.
Bring your sharpest questions to the interactive presentations but remember to “discuss
friendly”.
PROGRAMME
Professor Ken Boffard is our BJS Travelling Fellow who is reviewing training and clinical
practice in emergency general surgery and trauma in the UK. He brings from South
Africa unique insights and an international perspective to the organisation of trauma
services and emergency medical care. Coming hard on the heels of our recent Consensus
Conference on Emergency General Surgery in York in later February, it will be interesting
to see if our conclusions need to be modified in the light of his report.
When it’s all over tell us what we did well and reflect on the high points and what needs
improvement. Bournemouth 2008 is only 13 months away and the theme is “The Making
of a Surgeon”. Your input and involvement will, as always, be important and essential.
Enjoy Manchester and all it has to offer. Let’s hope the sun shines and that the ASGBI
Manchester 2007 meeting is the best ever!

Sir Liam Donaldson has
been the Chief Medical
Officer for England and
the United Kingdom’s
Chief Medical Adviser
since 1998. He is only
the fifteenth person to
hold this important and
historic post since it was
established in 1855.
Since coming into post,
Sir Liam has authored a
series of ground-breaking reports aimed at
transforming a wide range of areas of health, health
care and medical science, for example: producing the
country’s first comprehensive health protection
strategy; proposing new legislation to allow carefully
regulated stem cell research; addressing poor clinical
performance; introducing a comprehensive
programme for patient safety and empowering patient
self-management of chronic disease. Sir Liam is
probably best known for three of his achievements.
Firstly, his trailblazing annual reports, which have
brought major health concerns to public attention, in
particular the need for smoke-free public places, the
obesity ‘time bomb’, and the problems of binge
drinking. Secondly, his creation of the concept of
clinical governance – a clinically led way to assure
high standards of care – which is now an
internationally recognised approach in health care.
Thirdly, his leadership of patient safety as a priority
for health care systems around the world. His report
An organisation with a memory shaped policy on
patient safety in the United Kingdom and his
chairmanship of the World Health Organization
World Alliance for Patient Safety has moved action
to a global scale. Sir Liam has received honours and

Mr Dave Bunting
Warrant Officer Dave
Bunting joined the
British Army in 1984
at the age of 16 and
soon became captured
by adventure, travel
and challenge. After a
period as a military
tradesman he
undertook the
rigorously demanding
series of courses to be
selected into the Army
Physical Training Corps where he became a
specialist in mountain leadership training. He
became the Chief Instructor of the Joint Service’s
mountain training centres in Wales, Norway,
Bavaria and Canada and undertook the arduous
year long German Army Mountain Guide’s
(Heeresbergfuhrer) course to become one of only a
handful of British soldiers to have gained this
prestigious qualification. Dave has a passion for
mountaineering and he has now been involved in
the organisation and execution of numerous
expeditions including 10 to the Himalayas. On his
most recent expedition he faced his biggest and
most testing challenge yet. As overall expedition
leader Dave headed up the planning, team
selection and preparation of not only an attempt to
climb the formidable West Ridge of Mount
Everest, but also two other teams, who tackled
Lhakpa Ri and Island Peak, made of young people
whom he hopes will sustain the future of
mountaineering in the Armed Forces.

Society Research Fellowship and relocated to
Manchester in 1987. Nancy was awarded a Chair
in physiology in 1994, then a prestigious Medical
Research Council, Research Chair in 1998. Her
current research focuses on the role of
inflammation in brain disease and has identified
the role of the cytokine interleukin-1 (IL-1) in
diverse forms of brain injury. Her recent studies
have begun to elucidate the mechanisms regulating
IL-1 release and its action, and her group has
conducted the first early clinical trial of an IL-1
inhibitor in stroke. She has recently served as
president of the British Neuroscience Association
and a council member of MRC.
During Dave’s extensive employment teaching high
level mountain activities and over 20 years as a
climber he has led and developed a huge variety of
people of all ages and ranks within the British
Services including elite units such as The Royal
Marines and Special Air Service (SAS). Dave is
one of the founders of mypeakpotential limited, a
newly formed company that, through its
Leadership and Management Development
Programme, aims to help companies improve their
performance by improving their people. The
programme uses the reality of the outdoors to
present meaningful learning opportunities which,
combined with appropriate theoretical inputs and
reviews, creates fast, effective learning that is
relevant to the working situation.

Deltex Medical Limited - Improving outcomes in
major surgery.
The use of oesophageal Doppler monitoring (ODM)
to guide fluid delivery for optimal vascular filling
during surgery (‘targeted volume management’)
reduces post-operative complications, improves
patient outcomes and reduces length of hospital stay.
2006 - UK colorectal surgery RCT demonstrates this
compared to standard fluid protocol group.
2007 - UK meta-analysis of 7 RCTs - using intraoperative ODM across a wide range of surgical specialties
concludes that it reduced LOS by 3 days on average.
2007 - US Health Technology Assessment identifies
clinically significant reduction in major complications.
ODM - a simple intervention now at the core of many UK
enhanced recovery and fast track surgery programmes.

ajunct to systemic antibiotics, Collatamp EG can
reduce post surgical acquired infection across a
multitude of surgeries. Collatamp EG does not reach
therapeutically effective doses in the bloodstream, and
therefore it is highly unlikely that Collatamp EG can
contribute to otoxicity.

With chronic and difficult to heal wounds being such a
common cause of prolonged stays in hospital, better
wound care in the community is becoming increasingly
essential. The Government 2006 white paper ‘Our
Health, Our Care, And Our Say: A New Direction for
Community Services’ focuses on the care of patients in
the community and, in particular emphasises the use of
new technologies. V.A.C.® (Vacuum Assisted
Closure™) Therapy™ is one such technology which
can be used to this effect.
KCI’s V.A.C.® Therapy™ is now more widely available
for use in Primary Care, allowing the quicker transition
of patients from hospital to home which brings
demonstrable advantages.
• Higher rates of wound closure, more effective
reduction in wound volume and faster wound bed
preparation allows patients to return home quicker
• Reduces wound complications, including Hospital
Acquired Infection
• Can reduce waiting lists
• More patient mobility and independence leading to
better patient quality of life
• Reduces overall costs
• Treating patients in a lower cost setting
