Mr Francesco Di Chiara, Consultant Thoracic Surgeon, will be delivering a talk as one of our keynote speakers as part of the NUCCS Advancements in Cardiothoracic Surgery: National Student-Led Conference. Mr Di Chiara introduced uniportal VATS surgery (single incision key-hole) at Oxford University Hospitals and, has been involved in teaching peer consultant colleagues. He regularly performs advanced cases including sleeve lobectomies, chest wall resections and segmentectomies with this technique. Prior to this, we will have a brief presentation on the Importance of Accessibility and Inclusion in Medicine Dr. Phil McElnay, CEO at MedAll. The NUCCS conference on cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) is an excellent opportunity for medical students and foundation doctors to gain hands-on experience in basic CTS skills, and also to learn about the latest advancements in this field.
