Our Global Ambassador, Nash Patil, caught up with IOS President Professor Rory McConn Walsh to discuss the forthcoming meeting in Galway:
“The President and Council would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of you to Galway for the 66th annual meeting of the Irish Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Society meeting. We have laid on a very comprehensive and exciting programme for you over the course of the two days with keynote lectures, round table sessions, free papers and poster presentations.
While all subspecialties are well represented, the main theme of this year’s meeting is skull base surgery – both lateral and anterior. One of the highlights will be the Wilde discourse, to be delivered by Professor Richard Irving from Birmingham.
We hope you have a thoroughly enjoyable time, and look forward to welcoming you to Galway.
Best wishes,
Prof Rory McConn Walsh"
