The BSGOG is an association that has developed from within the BGCS with the remit of promoting excellence in surgical standards within the specialty of Gynaecological Oncology in the UK. Firstly, and importantly we are working in collaboration with the BGCS. The BSGOG is a collection of surgical gynaecological oncologists and the areas that we especially want to concentrate on include surgical procedures, surgical techniques, surgical training/education, surgical innovations including surgical equipment/technologies in addition to developing and promoting surgical trials.

We aim to do this by developing a "professional" network of Gynaecological Oncologists from across the UK and pooling their views, ideas and aspirations. We will hold an annual "National Live Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Meeting" and circulate regular newsletters to the community highlighting "what's new" within the surgical specialty. We aim to generate ideas for new surgical studies and surgical trials by determining through surveys opinions relating to various surgical practices.

Recently a BSGOG council was formed by the undersigned. We have secured funding from various sources to enable administrative support (tracey.burke@bsgog.org.uk). Over the coming months we want to update the database with interested colleagues and establish a communication link and set up a research forum to develop ideas for surgical trials.

Guest Surgeons will include Professor Nick Spirtos, Head of Department, Las Vegas, Nevada and Professor Christophe Pomel, Head of Department, Jean Perrin, Clermont-Ferrand, France and Professor Dennis Chi, Deputy Chief, Gynaecology Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, New York, USA.

Please see the attached flyer for more information: BSGOG Live Laparoscopic and OpenSurgical Meeting 3rd and 4th May 2012.pdf

We very much hope that you will become a part of the BSGOG by contributing ideas, attending meetings and helping to run surgical gynaecological oncology trials.

Best Wishes, Raj Naik, Des Barton, Pierre Martin Hirsch, Jonathon Herod, Stephen Dobbs
