Join our final ENT day of the academic year to gain insight into the exciting future of healthcare from pre-eminent academics around the world. These meetings offer the perfect opportunity for networking with colleagues and renowned speakers. Lunch is included when booking the morning and afternoon meetings.
Morning meeting
This session will highlight the latest advances in ENT, focusing on emerging developments in basic science and technology. The morning will start early with an in-depth review of Net-Zero Clinical Transformation opportunities to deliver low carbon care, presented remotely by Professor Chantelle Rizan, The Centre for Sustainable Medicine, University of Singapore. Following this, Prof Matthew Carlson, Chair of Otology at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, will deliver the 2025 RSM Section of Otology Travelling Lecture on his vision for the future of otology, skull base surgery, and hearing implantation. This will be followed by Athanasia Warnecke, Professor for biological inner ear therapies, Hannover, who will present on cochlear immunotherapy advancements, including anti-inflammatory exosomes and novel delivery methods for deafness prevention. Professor Manohar Bance will then describe his journey to delivering the world’s first successful targeted gene therapy for congenital hearing loss and the potential for future gene therapies for other congenital causes of deafness.
After the break, our final Otology Masterclass will explore the future developments in hearing and vestibular implantation, including advances in the development of vestibular implants from Professor Raymond Van De Berg, University of Maastricht; and the potential benefits of robotically inserted cochlear implant electrode arrays as well as the imminent arrival of totally implantable hearing implants by Professor Phillippe Lefebvre, Head of ENT, University of Liege. The morning will conclude with Professor Floris Wuyts, University of Antwerp, discussing the impact of micro and hyper-gravity on the balance system, based on his fascinating research on cosmonauts and its implications for wider patient care.
Afternoon meeting
The afternoon session features two esteemed visiting professors: Prof Mike Rutter from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, who will deliver the 2025 RSM Section of Laryngology and Rhinology Travelling Lecture on the ethics of innovation, reflecting his groundbreaking work in paediatric ENT and his impact on airway pathology management, and Professor Richard Douglas from Auckland, who will discuss establishing an academic surgical service. The session will conclude with the presentation of the trainee short paper prize winner, and the day will end at 5pm.
