You're invited to Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust’s event celebrating ‘One Year On: An Insight into Robotic-Assisted Surgery at DGT’.

The event will take place between 5-7:15pm on Tuesday 22 April in the Lecture Hall, Philip Farrant Education Centre at Darent Valley Hospital, Dartford, Kent, DA2 8DA

The event programme features guest speakers comprised of key staff members who have been instrumental in driving this project forward. They will provide you with an exclusive insight into our robotic-assisted surgery journey since the arrival of the da Vinci system a year ago, including the magnificent milestones we have achieved and a glimpse of what innovations are yet to come.  

We hope you can join us to recognise the advancements made in robotic-assisted surgery at Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust.
