The symposium is conducted over three days, and since its development it has evolved to comprise general, vascular, colorectal, breast/endocrine, orthopaedic, ENT, paediatrics, anaesthesia, urology, gynae, scientific, radiology, intensive care medicine and video surgery sessions. There are several paper prizes, poster prizes and named lectures including the Sylvester O’Halloran Lecture, Sir Thomas Myles lecture and the Paul O’Byrne lecture.
