AI in Surgery Study Day

The Christchurch General Surgery Study Day brings together the South Island general surgical community to celebrate collaboration across the specialty and explore the future of surgery in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.

The programme will explore the opportunities and challenges of AI in surgery, bringing together international and local perspectives on how AI is transforming surgical practice. Sessions will examine emerging technologies including surgical robotics, image-based machine learning, large language models, digital pathways, and immersive technologies in the operating theatre.

Alongside exploring the potential of AI to improve surgical care, the day will focus on the practical considerations of bringing these technologies into real-world healthcare settings. Discussions will cover building robust and trustworthy AI systems, supporting clinicians and healthcare teams to adapt to an AI-enabled future, and the lessons needed for successful implementation across different healthcare environments, including rural settings.

The event provides an opportunity for surgeons, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals to connect, share experiences, and consider how innovation can support a more sustainable, effective, and patient-centred healthcare system.
