Hello I’m Saj Ataullah from Manchester.
David gave me the opportunity to help co-ordinate some of the London Neuro-Orbital Symposium.
I had the privilege of inviting some superb colleagues from Manchester: Raj Bhalla, Omar Pathmanaban, Gillian Whitfield and our own senior trainee James Young, who all presented on the day.
What was most impressive for me, however, was the absolutely unique coming together of such a large number of specialists from different disciplines, all bringing their experience of management of skull base disease to the same forum, at the same event. That ability for colleagues to gather and learn from each other, I thought, was absolutely wonderful.
Thank you so much David for organising the event. It would be an absolute pleasure for my colleagues in Manchester and myself to be able to collaborate with you and the SOA in the future for similar events.
Thank you again!
