UK ’ s leading surgeons mark official launch of £ 21m NIHR Biomedical Research Centre

Almost a third of hospital admissions involve a surgical procedure and with 4.7 million operations carried out in the UK each year and numbers rising year on year, surgery is one of the most important life-saving treatments offered to patients. Innovative surgical procedures are continually being developed but how are they tested to ensure they are safe? Two of the UK ’ s leading academic surgeons will answer these questions at a public lecture and debate on Thursday 1 February 2018 to mark the official launch of the £ 21 million National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Bristol Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).
