The Digital Surgeon

*THIS EVENT HAS NOW PAST*

Each year 10 million patients undergo a surgical procedure in the UK. Surgery accounts for £12 billion (10%) of the NHS budget and a similar amount is spent on dealing with adverse surgical outcomes.

Our goal is to create a digital surgical pathway, of which a core component is a Health Data Research Hub in surgery: Cutting Edge. Currently being developed in collaboration with Health Data Research UK (HDRUK).

During this webinar, speakers discussed the vision to revolutionise surgical practice by harnessing the power of robotics & AI technologies

Presenting at this event were:

Professor Naeem Soomro, Co-Director in Robotic and Digital Surgery: Developing and implementing strategy of wider adoption of robotic and digital surgery across the UK.

Paul Watson, Professor of Computer Science at Newcastle University and Director of Newcastle Data.
