Centre for Academic Surgery Inaugural Event

30 March 2026

The Centre for Academic Surgery inaugural event attracted an audience of Academics, Clinicians, and King’s Students. The evening consisted of an introductory welcome from Professor Graham Lord (Senior Vice-President, Health & Life Sciences) followed by two Lord Brock Professorial Lectures given by Professor Francesco Rubino (Chair of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) and Professor Ajay Shah (Executive Dean, FoLSM), and a presentation by Medtronic, who kindly sponsored the event, concluded the talks ahead of a social reception.

This inaugural event brought together both Centre members and individuals the Centre seeks to invest in. Both Brock lectures were followed by Q & As led by Professor Prokar Dasgupta (Centre Director) and focussed on the future of Obesity Surgery, and the role of AI in Education; the discussion around both topics was stimulating and involved.
