Join us for the UCL Transplant Surgery Symposium 2026, our flagship national event exploring the groundbreaking innovations in all facets of transplant surgery and medicine.

🗓️ Saturday 31st January 2026
📍UCL’s Cruciform Building

Our theme this year, “Transformative Milestones: Breakthroughs Defining the Future of Transplant Surgery”, aims to inspire students across all years of medical school and beyond, with a programme that has been meticulously curated to showcase the breadth of opportunity, discovery, innovation, and impact within transplant surgery and medicine.

We are looking forward to bringing together world-class clinicians, researchers, and patients to deliver a brilliant overview of the ‘surgical firsts’, spanning from critical research being conducted inside the labs, to the founding of novel procedures and surgeries taking place in the operating theatres, which are paving the way to connect cutting-edge science with real-world patient care in the world of transplant.

What will the day include?

  • Expert Speaker Talks
    Hear from leading transplant surgeons across multiple specialties who are innovating procedures and advancing research at the forefront of their fields that will define where transplant surgery is heading next.
  • The Battle of Specialties Panel
    A dynamic and interactive panel open to both transplant surgery and wider medical specialties, offering insight into diverse career pathways, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and how different specialties contribute to the transplant journey.

  • The Patient Perspective Panel

    A powerful session featuring donors, recipients, and others involved in transplantation, bringing patient voices to the forefront and linking world-class research with the vital importance of organ donation and its unique impact on patient lives.

All in-person delegates will enjoy morning pastries, tea and coffee, snacks and drinks throughout, and a hot lunch!
