Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics 2020: CANCELLED

On behalf of the Hamlyn Symposium conference committee, we regret to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics, due to the ongoing threat posed by the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. 

Our priority is the health, safety, and well-being of our participants, our staff, our corporate sponsors, and exhibitors. With individuals attending the conference from all over the world, we know that this is both disappointing and challenging from a planning perspective.

We extend our gratitude to the programme, organising and workshop committees, our keynote speakers, sponsors and to all who submitted a paper. We are grateful for your support and we are all looking forward to running a successful symposium in June 2021.

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 550 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 this year's theme on 'Surgery and Beyond'. We have already received full CPD accreditation from the Royal College of Surgeons for the 2020 Symposium and to complement this we are planning a programme with increased focus on clinical practitioner centered talks, workshops and presentations. 

The 13^th Hamlyn Symposium on Medical Robotics will be held on Saturday 20^th - Tuesday 23^rd June 2020 at the Royal Geographical Society, London, UK.

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.
