Modern Medicine - The Future of Healthcare
A Study Morning presented by Tenterden u3a
Saturday 14 March 2026, 9am-1pm
The Sinden Theatre
Science and technology have revolutionised surgery and medicine: we benefit from treatments that would have amazed our grandparents. At the same time, we are confronted daily by stories about a crisis in the NHS. For lay people and patients, the picture is at once inspiring, worrying and bewildering.
Join three eminent surgeons to hear the story of recent medical developments, explain recent advances and point to ways ahead for healthcare in the modern world.
Professor John Nicholls, Key Developments in Medicine
Professor Paris Tekkis, Technical Advances in the Last Thirty Years
Professor Sir Neil Mortensen, UK Healthcare at the Crossroads
Round Table Q&A with the Speakers
