Watch the on-demand recording of our final ENT ENT day of the academic year to gain insight into the exciting future of healthcare from pre-eminent academics around the world.
Morning meeting
This session explores the latest advances in ENT, focusing on developments in basic science and technology. The morning begins with Professor Chantelle Rizan (University of Singapore) presenting on Net-Zero Clinical Transformation and low-carbon care opportunities. Professor Matthew Carlson (Mayo Clinic) follows with the 2025 RSM Otology Travelling Lecture on the future of otology, skull base surgery, and hearing implantation. Professor Athanasia Warnecke (Hannover) will discuss cochlear immunotherapy advancements, including anti-inflammatory exosomes and novel delivery methods for deafness prevention. Professor Manohar Bance will then share his journey in delivering the world’s first targeted gene therapy for congenital hearing loss and the potential for future gene therapies. After the break, our final Otology Masterclass will cover future developments in hearing and vestibular implantation, featuring Professor Raymond Van De Berg (Maastricht) on vestibular implants and Professor Phillippe Lefebvre (Liège) on robotic cochlear implant insertion and the imminent arrival of totally implantable hearing implants. The session concludes with Professor Floris Wuyts (Antwerp) discussing how micro- and hyper-gravity affect balance, based on his research with cosmonauts and its implications for patient care.
Afternoon meeting
The afternoon session hosts two extremely distinguished visiting professors - Prof Mike Rutter and Professor Richard Douglas. Prof Rutter from the Childrens Hospital in Cincinnati will deliver the 2025 RSM Section of Laryngology and Rhinology Travelling Lecture on the Ethics of Innovation. Mike is a world leader in Paediatric ENT, with the advances he has made in managing airway pathology improving practice for all involved. He has trained a generation of surgeons and his expertise and good humour are hard to match. Looking to the future Dr Jonathan Abbas will present on extended reality technology with regards to training in ENT surgery followed by the winners of the trainee short paper prizes. After coffee Prof Jane Dacre, Emeritus Professor of Medical Education at University College London, will speak on the future of the NHS with her unique view on how to fix it. Innovation in our specialty is most welcome and the Section encourages new ideas with the award of the Shaw Innovation Prize. This year's winner will present their idea which will hopefully change things for the better for all of us! We are honoured that Professor Richard Douglas from Auckland New Zealand has kindly agreed to speak at the RSM. He has an international reputation both as a surgeon and leading academic. He will speak on Surgery for Nasal Polyps in the Age of Biologics. Finally Mr Zaid Awad from Imperial College will talk on Transoral Robotic Surgery, looking at current practice and where this technology may evolve over the next few years.
