Surgeons to meet for discussion

The 1921 Surgical Club of Great Britain and the University Department of Surgery will be holding a joint meeting in Malta on May 4 and 5 in the Medical School Conference Hall.

Several eminent surgeons from Great Britain will be attending the meeting.

Over the course of the two-day meeting, a number of papers, discussing a wide variety of subjects, will be delivered by both visiting and local surgeons.

The 1921 Surgical Club of Great Britain was founded in Leeds in July 1921 by Lord Moynihan and named The Surgical Union of Great Britain. In 1943, it became the Provincial Surgical Club of Great Britain. In 1969, it was renamed The 1921 Surgical Club of Great Britain.

The primary aim of the society is the advancement of surgery and interaction with recognised centres outside the UK.
