The first combined meeting of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and ENT UK was held on 6 September at the Royal College of Surgeons of England
A combined meeting between maxillofacial surgery and ENT surgery was long overdue given the significant overlap between the two specialties.
The event’s keynote speaker, Professor Maura Gillison, from Ohio State University, discussed “the clinical implications of a diagnosis of HPV16 positive head and neck cancer”. It has become apparent that this disease is a new variant of squamous cancer, affecting a younger age group, due to a different aetiology and risk behaviour and responding to treatment in a different way. Professor Gillison gave a highly informed lecture, clarifying many aspects of this emerging disease and raising highly pertinent questions as to how it should be managed, both from a public health and treatment point of view.

ENT nurse practitioners gathered at the RCSEd in September to hear the latest developments in their field, writes Angela Griggs
The joint symposium Nurse-led Management of ENT Disorders attracted over 50 nurses from across the UK, Ireland, and Channel Islands. They included ENT outpatient nurses, nurse practitioners and ward-based nurses. Because these roles are often in isolation, this course is currently one of the few opportunities nurse practitioners have to meet and discuss nurse-led ENT issues, network and share information about their roles.

 A joint meeting of the British and Irish Orthopaedic Associations took place at the Convention Centre, Dublin, from 13 to 16 September
The nature of this meeting has changed over the years from one in which free papers were the principal component and were complemented by plenary lectures. Currently, each of the 20 specialist societies runs separate sessions which include free papers and invited lectures. This year, the overarching theme of the meeting was ‘training, education and revalidation’.
