The Annual Scientific Meeting is run by the Executive committee of the WASHS. An international guest is usually accompanied by a national guest for a day of scientific presentations. The day following, a cadaveric laboratory session is undertaken in order that some of the surgical techniques described in the scientific session might be explored.

ASM 2020

This year’s ASM has unfortunately been cancelled due to the COVID 19 Crisis. We were lucky enough to have secured the time of PC Ho from Hong Kong and Steve Tham from Melbourne, but now alas we cannot continue. We look forward to convening a meeting this time next year, crossed fingers.
