ASOHNS Annual Scientific Meeting 2027

For the UK ENT community, the ASOHNS Annual Scientific Meeting 2027 in Adelaide offers a compelling reason to make the journey to Australia. 


The convener, A/Prof JC Hodge and scientific convener, Prof Alkis Psaltis,  have produced more than an international scientific meeting. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in a programme featuring a thoughtfully curated group of keynote speakers, and a strong programme of internationally recognised leaders, joining leading Australian surgeons to share new thinking, evidence, techniques and innovation across the breadth of otolaryngology head & neck surgery. 
  
The programme is headlined by our keynotes: Prof Catherine K Hart (USA),  Shiying Hey, (UK), A/Prof Kazuhiro Omura (Japan), Prof Peter Santa Maria (USA) and  Prof Maie St John (USA).


Alongside an outstanding scientific programme, delegates can extend their learning through attending pre- ASM workshops, including an inaugural head & neck econstruction and microvascular course and a head & neck accredited cadaveric course. The reconstruction workshop three-day programme is dedicated to contemporary head and neck free flap reconstruction and microsurgical technique. The course brings together a multidisciplinary faculty from otolaryngology, head & neck surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as oral and maxillofacial surgery.

For UK senior registrars considering an Australian fellowship, the meeting offers something particularly valuable: the opportunity to meet Australian surgeons, fellowship supervisors, and future colleagues face-to-face. In one visit, you have an opportunity to explore potential fellowship pathways, understand the Australian clinical environment, make introductions, and begin building the professional relationships that could shape your next career move. If an Australian fellowship is on your horizon, Adelaide in March 2027 is an excellent place to start the conversation.  Combine high-level academic learning with genuine international networking, collaboration and career development – while experiencing Australia. 


March is a brilliant time to visit Adelaide, the city of churches and festivals. Explore further into South Australia with a visit to Kangaroo Island, the Flinders Ranges or Fleurieu Peninsula, or for the wine lovers – explore the Barossa, McLaren Vale or the Clare Valley!
