Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics 2021

On behalf of the Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics conference committee, we are pleased to announce that the 13th symposium will go ahead in June 2021. Exact dates will be confirmed soon.

The event will be held either in person or online, depending on the level of the ongoing threat posed by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak by next year. Our priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our participants, our staff, our corporate sponsors, and exhibitors so our decision on the format of the event will be made with this in mind. 

About the Symposium- The Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics (HSMR) is now in its 13^th year and has provided an annual forum for surgeons and engineers from across the globe to network and explore the latest developments in medical robotics. Every year researchers, clinicians and engineers are invited to submit papers on a range of topics covering clinical specialities in Urology, Cardiac Surgery, Neuro Surgery, Thoracic Surgery, General Surgery, Gynaecology, ENT, Orthopaedic and Paediatric Surgery.

The Symposium continues to grow year on year and it has now become the leading medical robotics event attended by an international audience of over 600 delegates with clinical, scientific and engineering expertise.  The symposium has gained a prominent reputation for presentations, discussion and demonstrations of cutting-edge clinical practice and emerging technologies in robotic surgery. 

This year we plan to build beyond the previous achievements and take the symposium to even higher successes with the theme of 'Surgery and Beyond'. We have already received full CPD accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons and to complement this we are planning a programme with increased focus on clinical practitioner centered talks, workshops and presentations. 

The Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics is accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England for up to 24 CPD points

The Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics is compliant with the MedTech Europe Code of Ethical Business Practice via the conference vetting system (CVS). You can find our event profile on Ethical MedTech CVS here.
