It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the pre-congress Laparoscopic Skills course at the ESCP Annual Conference in Milan. The Executive considered this decision very carefully and it was difficult to make. We would like to thank all those who have invested their time and energy into this event and make it very clear that this decision is in no way a reflection on the organisation of the course to date.

Over the last few weeks it has become clearer that the late re-location of the Annual Meeting is continuing to cause unexpected logistical problems and we now feel the ideal circumstances are not present to deliver the standard of course expected. It is our aspiration to build on this years’ experience in order to offer a high quality laparoscopic skills course next year.
