Sylvester O’Halloran Perioperative Symposium

The annual Sylvester O’Halloran Perioperative Symposium, named in his honour, was started in 1992 by the late Mr Peter Delaney.  The symposium is now conducted over three days and two locations, both GEMS on the UL campus and the CERC building in UHL, and since its development it has evolved to comprise general, vascular, colorectal, breast/endocrine, orthopaedic, ENT, plastic surgery sessions as well as multidisciplinary, plenary and practical hand-on surgical educational sessions. There are several paper prizes, poster prizes and named lectures including the Sylvester O’Halloran Lecture and the Sir Thomas Myles lecture.
