The second ASiT / SARS / BJS Research Skills Course will be held at this year’s conference. Run in association with the Society of Academic and Research Surgeons and the British Journal of Surgery, this course provides an overview of the field of academic surgery, covering topics from the role of the surgeon in basic laboratory science to how to perform clinical trials.

In addition it will provide practical advice on how to design a project, and how to apply for funding and ethical approval. It includes an interactive workshop on how to critically appraise published papers, run by the editors of the British Journal of Surgery.

This course will be invaluable to surgeons at all stages of their training, both to those with a career interest in academic surgery, and those performing or considering a period of laboratory or clinical research. The focus is in providing practical advice on carrying out all types of surgical research.
