Dear All

I am writing to invite you to the BAPS National Training Day which
will be held in Leeds on 23-24th October 2008. On the Thursday, the
venue will be the Leeds General Infirmary and Hirschsprung's disease
will be discussed. This will cover clinical management ranging from
initial diagnosis, definitive management and outcome. The ISCP
curriculum will be addressed and speakers will be from a number of
disciplines.

As part of the meeting we will also cover topics that are both common
and important in clinical practice and the exam; on the Thursday
afternoon we will discuss Inguinal Hernias. This will cover standard
management, the evidence surrounding this, and what to do in uncommon
situations. On Friday the venue moves to St James' University Hospital
for a joint session with Adult Urology trainees. Here orchidopexy will
be covered in detail with a video link for live operating followed by
an interactive session.

As well as clinical teaching, there will be a Registrar Meeting and an
informal dinner on the Thursday evening. A copy of the programme is
attached below.

Unfortunately, the timing of the meeting will clash with the RITAs for
the Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leicester consortium who will be in
Sheffield for at least some of the Friday. It has not been possible to
move the date or the venue of the RITA or the training meeting. We are
very sorry for the impact that this will have on local trainees; we
will provide a summary of the discussion on the Friday, have made an
adjustment to the cost of the meeting for those effected and hope they
will still find it possible to attend at least part of the meeting.

All trainees with an interest in Paediatric Surgery are welcome. The
cost will be £40 to include food on the Thursday evening. There will
be a reduction to £30 for those who have RITAs on the Friday. To book,
please complete the form below making cheques payable to Leeds COPU as
soon as possible. The form and cheque should be returned to:
