King's Health Partners (KHP) Academic Surgery aims to facilitate outstanding surgical science collaborations, improve education for the next generation of surgical trainees, and inspire students pursuing exciting surgical careers.

The programme’s flagship is the Grand Round series that offers focused monthly presentations from renowned experts on surgical innovations across specialties.

The aim is simple; to provide a framework in which the King's Health Partners surgical community can come together and network, develop friendships and relationships with national and international colleagues, present high-quality research, and inform others of progress in their specialist field.

Each Grand Round welcomes two prestigious speakers to give a seminar, with one focussing on a surgical specialty and the second sharing a keynote lecture which is awarded the Bulkley-Barry-Cooper Surgical Professorship certificate. KHP’s Professor of Surgery Prof Prokar Dasgupta, and Mr Rajesh Nair act as conveners of the Grand Rounds.

Global experts

Since the series launch in 2021, we have been joined by a host of expert surgeons from the UK, France, Australia, Korea, and beyond, who have shown the latest developments in a range of surgical specialities such as vascular surgery, urological surgery, orthopaedics and breast surgery to name but a few. 

Fantastic speakers

You can rewatch all of our past Grand Round events for free by visiting the KHP Learning Hub and adding the course to your basket (read our step-by-step guide) or by going to the King’s College London media platform. 

The Grand Round events continue to draw in a fantastic array of surgical speakers and many interested students and staff across our partnership which is why we are delighted to be renewing the series for 2022 –2023. Stay tuned for more information soon.
