You are warmly invited to come and join in the fun (and learning) at the UCL Hawkes Institute. The event takes place during the Easter school holidays on Friday 11th April and runs from 11am until 4pm.
At the event you can try tabletop demonstrations and go on behind the scenes tours of our labs at Charles Bell House, London. Come and see live demonstrations of cutting-edge equipment, control a real surgical robot, experience the challenges of key-hole surgery, and talk to our researchers shaping the future of healthcare.
The event is free and there is no need to book for Science of Surgery. However, please note that separate tours of the ground floor laboratories are offered on a first-come-first-served basis on the day. These separate tours are booked when you arrive and due to the size of the labs, are limited in terms of group size.

About the Speaker
at Hawkes Institute
At the Hawkes Institute, engineers, clinicians and computer scientists work together to develop technologies that enable safer and more effective treatments for patients across a wide range of conditions.
Part of the centre is based at Charles Bell House, a building that brings together researchers from a wide range of departments at UCL, including Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering. These academic researchers work in partnership with clinical researchers from areas such as the UCL Division of Surgery & Interventional Sciences and leading hospitals.
