2022 Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Austin Health

Perioperative Medicine Symposium, Melbourne

​

We take great pleasure in inviting you to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Austin Health Perioperative Medicine symposium from 26-29 August 2022. The aim is for an easily accessible meeting and provides a great opportunity for interaction with perioperative clinicians, including anaesthetists, surgeons, nurses, and allied health practitioners from around Australia and New Zealand.

​

The meeting will cover current best practice across a broad range of topics in perioperative medicine on the Saturday and a range of workshops on the Friday, Sunday, and Monday of the program.

​

Our program also includes several prominent speakers, including:
 

• Professor Christobel Saunders, AO, James Stuart Chair of Surgery, Royal Melbourne Hospital Department of Surgery, University of Melbourne.

• Professor Andrew Somogyi, Professor of Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology, University of Adelaide.

• Professor Suzanne Chambers, AO, Executive Dean, Faculty of Heath Sciences, Australian Catholic University.

• Dr Vanessa Beavis, Specialist Anaesthetist, Auckland District Health Board, New Zealand, and Immediate Past President, Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists

• Professor Ismail Gôgenur, Director, Centre for Surgical Science (CSS), Denmark

​

The scientific program on Saturday 27 August at the RACV Club in Melbourne is broad ranging and will cover aspects spanning the entire perioperative journey, from preoperative (for example prehabilitation and cardiac optimisation), intraoperative (myocardial and microcirculation protection) and postoperatively (pain management and cancer care), with emphasis on the value proposition of perioperative medicine and accessibility to care. We look forward to this face-to-face meeting.

​

In addition to the symposium, we’ll be holding several workshops on Friday and Sunday at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and Austin Health in Melbourne. These are hospital-based workshops covering key skills and scenarios in medicine. Workshops range from cardiac arrest, cardiopulmonary exercise testing and prehabilitation, advanced haemodynamic and brain monitoring, medical simulation, anaphylaxis, and difficult airway. Please refer to the program for the full list of workshops.

​

We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of the symposium and are incorporating a holistic approach that includes, but is not restricted to, areas such as reducing written materials and reducing the use of plastics and nonbiodegradable materials.

​

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne for a meeting with an outstanding scientific and workshop program from leading local and international medical practitioners.

​

Sincerely,

Professor Bernhard Riedel and Professor Laurence Weinberg
