2026 – Scottish Spine – 17th Meeting
“Quality spine care – in the UK Context”

Thursday 12 and Friday 13 November 2026 – Edinburgh
As healthcare professionals based in the Scottish Health Service providing care for patients with conditions of the spine, we want to share best practice. Our annual informal and friendly gathering helps us achieve quality and safe clinical care for patients now, and improve in the future. At present this forum and website are for healthcare professionals involved in spine healthcare only. However, who knows what the future will bring?

For our meeting this year we return to Symposium Hall at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Go to the NHS Microsoft Team – “Scottish Spine” to check you are listed. If not, e-mail Chris (Adams) who will add you. We will use that Teams channel for announcements, registration, free paper abstracts, and more.
Save these dates! More information will follow in our NHS Microsoft Team by early September 2026. We look forward to welcoming you. Best wishes from your local organising team for Edinburgh 2026;
- Chairperson – Jothy Kandasamy, Consultant Neurosurgeon
- Deputy chairperson – Orla Creed, Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner – Spinal Team
- Treasurer and Secretary – Chris Adams, Consultant Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon
