Connect with us.
Our Mission
Scalpel is a Surgical Society from University of Manchester, partnered with the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
Our goal is to nurture aspiring surgeons and foster their interest in surgery through lectures, workshops, and hosting conferences.
In 2009, Scalpel hosted its first national conference. Ever since, annual conferences have become a major event attended by many medical students and six-form students including from other parts of the country.
Lectures
We deliver surgical-themed lectures, for example relating to choosing a specialty, or advice relating to research projects and audits.
Workshops
We offer a wide range of in-person workshops including surgical skills days, CV clinics, and mock CCAs. Our annual Surgical Experience Fair is a perfect introduction to surgery.
Conferences
We host an annual Scalpel Conference featuring renowned speakers and hands-on workshops. We also have an annual Trauma Conference (est. 2024) in addition to the main conference.
