The future of surgery in the UK

CSJ provides an insight into the highlights at the Future of Surgery Show in Birmingham, taking place on 20 January 2026. Technological innovation, elective recovery, patient safety and sustainability will be high on the agenda, at this one-day event.

As the NHS stands at a pivotal moment in its long history, the urgency to reshape surgical care for the modern era has never been greater. Pressures on elective pathways, rising demand for specialist procedures, the integration of robotics, and the rapid evolution of digital surgical technologies are transforming the expectations placed on surgical teams and systems.

The Future of Surgery Show in Birmingham, hosted by the Institute of Government & Public Policy (IGPP), will bring together hundreds of professionals working across surgery, anaesthetics, perioperative care, digital innovation, and elective transformation. The event provides the space to explore the latest advances in surgical technology, workforce development, service redesign, and the changing role of the modern operating theatre.

In partnership with the Clinical Services Journal, an exclusive free ticket code, CSJ-OTS100, has been made available to CSJ readers. This grants full access to the conference, including all sessions, panels, networking opportunities, and the exhibition area.
