Different treatment options will be presented for the management of common metastatic presentations and there will be an interactive debate on a variety of cases.

This will be achieved by short, focused instructive talks to clarify the knowledge available. Round table case discussions to explore the concepts in greater detail. Sessions on anatomical specimens to put into practice the techniques learned. To accommodate our international guests, sessions will be simultaneously translated in English, French and German.

Survey - Spinal Surgery Training

There have been recent moves within the neurosurgical and orthopaedic communities to try to standardise the quality of spinal surgery training that residents receive across Europe. To help in providing a clearer picture as to what residents and newly qualified orthopaedic spine specialists currently go through, we have devised this questionnaire to provide a basis for comparisons to be made as well as for achievable standards to be set
