South West General Surgery Conference 2026!

The much-anticipated biennial RACS WA South West General Surgery Conference WA 2026 is returning on Saturday 7 & Sunday 8 November 2026 at an exciting new venue, the Saltwater Busselton.

The theme of this year’s conference, 'Basic to Complex, Complexity to Complication', mirrors the surgical career path: A progression from foundational skills to the cutting edge of medical science. As surgery evolves through technical innovation and precision, the focus is no longer just managing the intricate nature of modern procedures, but also eliminating the complications that often follow them.

South West General Surgery Conference 2026 Conveners, Dr Nikhil Agrawal, Dr Jacinta Cover & Dr Senarath Werapitiya, invite you to be part of this exciting conference, which is set to offer a thoughtfully curated and highly beneficial program for delegates. 

The program incorporates WA Papers Day 2026 and the Free Papers session, offering the chance to hear some of the latest and most interesting research from across all specialties.
