Just a quick thank you to Mohammad Eddama and his team at UCLH for organising our 4th UCLH Rafaelo Teaching Session today. Some 20 enthusiastic colorectal surgeons travelled from all over the UK to attend the session but unfortunately, Mr Richard Cohen FRCS, who usually hosts the event, was unable to attend through illness. We all wish him a speedy recovery. Nonetheless the day went well and hopefully we will add several more sites to our growing list of venues offering Rafaelo.
