Dear colleagues,
Dear students, nurses and members of the emergency services,
On behalf of the German Society of Surgery, I would like to continue to pledge our full solidarity and support to Ukraine wherever possible in the coming year.
The DCK is the ideal networking platform for junior surgeons, not only with a view to establishing collaborative research projects and multi-centre German studies, but also to create a fundamental basis for team-oriented, modern patient care in everyday clinical practice.
The guest nation at the 141st Congress of the German Society of Surgery 2024 will be the United States of America. We are expecting a partner delegation from the American College of Surgeons. They will participate in our international sessions on surgical issues and health policy topics in comparison to Germany and Europe.
Finally, on behalf of the presidents of all specialist member societies within the German Society of Surgery, I would like to invite you all to the 141st Congress of the German Society of Surgery, which is due to take place at Leipzig Congress Centre from 23 to 26 April 2024. In the run-up to the congress, we will also be holding our online “DCK.digital” event from 16 to 18 April 2024.
I look forward to personally welcoming you to Leipzig together with my team and the presidents of the DGCH member societies.
Best wishes,
Prof. Christiane J. Bruns
DGCH President, 2023/24
