Global Surgical Frontiers Conference 2017
The theme for 2017 was surgery in children and young people. All surgical specialties deal with children's surgical conditions, and most Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) have a demographic breakdown where nearly half of their population are under 16. The aim of the GSF Conference, held on 21 & 22 April 2017, was three fold:
- to inform about global needs in surgery;
- to provide information about how UK surgeons can be involved with surgical work, training and research in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs); and
- to allow networking for surgeons, trainees and medical students interested in global surgery.

COSECSA / RCSI Collaboration on the Management of Surgical Emergencies
The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) and the College of Surgeons of East, Central and Southern Africa (COSECSA) established a Collaboration Programme in 2007. This programme was finally implemented in 2008.
Its aim is to increase the provision of quality, essential surgical and emergency care in the COSECSA region, particularly at district level (i.e. the management of surgical emergencies, MSE).
The programme is supported by Irish Aid (the Government of Ireland's Development Agency) and RCSI which provides for staff and resources including curricula, education tools, skills training, examination, accreditation and quality assurance processes.
Additional information about the RCSI/COSECSA collaboration programme can be found on their joint Twitter account.
