ABOUT US
About the Irish Shoulder and Elbow Society
The Irish Shoulder and Elbow Society is celebrating 10 years in 2027. Over the decade we have seen significant growth in the number of members and delegates. One of the appeals of the society is how closely we collaborate with our ISERS rehabilitation colleagues. Our Annual Conference gives an opportunity for both surgeons and our rehabilitation society to closely work together. The parallel breakout sessions have been very popular.
Our society continues to benefit from its members having an influence on the international shoulder and elbow community. Several of our members routinely present internationally and are invited guest speakers at leading conferences such as the recent SECEC 2026 in Barcelona.
The 2026 Annual Conference was a huge success. Professor Christian Gerber was our invited guest speaker. He presented his data on acromion osteotomies for recurrent shoulder instability in refractory cases. His input into the clinical pathological case discussions led to enthusiastic robust debate which was of significant value to attending delegates. Ms Edel Fanning was invited guest speaker for the ISERS. She delivered a very interesting presentation on her work with elite athletes.
This year’s meeting will be no different. We are delighted to have Professor Roger Van As our invited guest speaker. Roger’s detailed bio is on the 2027 Annual Conference page. You will see that he is clearly a leader in elbow conditions. He has strong links with the rehabilitation aspect of elbow injuries and therefore is an excellent fit for our meeting.
We look forward to seeing you all on 30th January 2027 in the RCSI, Dublin.
Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the 2018 annual conference of the Irish Shoulder and Elbow Society.
This year, we hope to build on the success of 2017’s inaugural meeting. On behalf of the society I would like to express our gratitude to Dr Anthony Romeo, our guest of honour last year, for making the day an enjoyable and informative one.
The first half of the today’s meeting is dedicated towards shoulder instability and no doubt, there will be something for everyone with the combined wisdom and knowledge of our two guest speakers: Pascal Boileau and Anju Jaggi.
Professor Pascal Boileau is a pioneer in the field of shoulder surgery and has introduced innovations in the management of shoulder arthritis, instability, cuff pathology and fractures. He is the head of the department of orthopaedic surgery in the University of Nice, a former SECEC president and director of the biennial Nice Shoulder Course.
Ms Anju Jaggi, herself a former EUSSER president, is renowned for her work in the management of complex shoulder instability. Many of our own most challenging instability patients have travelled to London to benefit from her expertise and under her supervision and instruction, rehabilitated back to function.
Later on, in June of this year, ISES will hold its first specialty day at the IOA annual meeting. Dr Mark Mighell from the Florida Orthopaedic Institute will be guest of honour on that occasion.
Thank you for attending the conference today. I think we can all look forward to an interesting educational and scientific meeting.
