Dear All,

Please could I draw your attention to the Rowan Nicks scholarship advertised on the website
(http://www.trainee.baps.org.uk/page1/page1.html  ). This is a fellowship to support someone with FRCS(Paeds) to do some training in Australia. Further details are given in the advert.

Secondly, the UKCCSG/BAPS Paediatric Surgery Oncology course will be held at St. Georges Hospital, Tooting on 29-30th January 2009. This course is convened by Keith Holmes, Kokila Lakhoo and Bruce Okoye and includes updates on all major childhood tumours. The course programme and flyer will appear on the TRIPS site shortly, but for more information contact: Keith Holmes or Bruce Okoye via Judy Walker: 020 8725 3322 or e-mail bruce.okoye@...

I have recently attended the BAPS winter meeting, executive meeting and council meeting as well as the Paeds Surgery SAC meeting with Iain. An executive summary of these meetings will be coming soon!

Please be in touch with me or Iain if you have any questions or comments.
Best wishes for the holiday season,
Clare.
