The UCL Transplant Surgery Symposium 2026 is a one day academic event designed to introduce students to the breadth, complexity, and future directions of transplant surgery. The symposium will bring together clinicians and researchers to explore transplantation from both a clinical and scientific perspective, offering insight into surgical practice, innovation, and career pathways within the specialty.
The programme will feature a series of expert led talks covering key areas of transplant surgery, including organ donation and allocation, peri operative management, ethical considerations, and advances in surgical techniques. Sessions will also highlight cutting edge research and emerging technologies shaping the future of transplantation.
Alongside formal lectures, the symposium will provide opportunities for discussion, questions, and engagement with speakers, allowing attendees to gain a realistic understanding of training pathways and day to day practice in transplant surgery. The event is open to students with an interest in surgery, transplantation, and academic medicine, and aims to inspire and inform those considering a future career in this field.
