This is a wonderful opportunity to network with like-minded academics and to hear about cutting-edge research taking place at Edinburgh.

More information aswell as abstract submissions and conference registration can be found here.

AMERICA IS COMING TO TOWN.

The next RMS talk will be given by Dr Tariq Saboor, a consultant ophthalmologist specialising in glaucoma treatment, refractive surgery and cataract procedures. He’s been performing laser eye surgery for over 10 years, is a college tutor at the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, and is an examiner for the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.

He will be giving a talk entitled “Ophthalmology, Laser Eye Surgery and Recent Developments”. In addition Dr Saboor will talk about his different experiences of ophthalmology around the world, having run eye camps in Gibraltar, Pakistan, and at the foot of Everest in Kathmandu.

This week’s talk will be given by Dr. Sandy Reid who will be speaking to you all about the exciting and ever changing topic of Wilderness Medicine.

Defined as “vital emergency care in remote settings”, wilderness medicine covers a host of topics relating to medical applications in expedition, outdoor sport and fieldcraft settings. It’s very different from the hospital-based medicine we learn on our course and is always an eye-opener.

So if you’ve ever done a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expedition, are an outdoor sportsperson or are just keen to learn about some interesting applications of medicine outside the 4 walls of a hospital, come along next Tuesday to what promises to be a packed talk.

This week’s talk is going to be given by Professor Jamie Davies. Hear him speak on his special area of interest: “[starting with] human stem cells and ending up with a functioning organ”.

In April last year, Professor Davies was involved in the team who successfully grew “something that has the complexity of a normal, foetal kidney”.

Remember, RMS talk are open to everyone – members, non-members, friends, etc – so bring along anyone you think may be interested!

Date of Talk: 02.10.12
Time: Please arrive at 19:45 for an 20:00 sharp start
Venue: RMS Building

Hope to see lots of you there for what promises to be a really interesting talk!
