A brief portfolio of four distinct projects - scaphoid injuries, blunt chest trauma in the elderly, acute gallstone disease, and a mobile x-ray machine with embedded AI technology. Which reflect some of the ways the Emergency Department is trying to develop their approach to imaging in acute care pathways.

Drs Alex Novak, Lois Brand and Phil Hormbrey are consultants in emergency medicine at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation.

Professor Shin Egawa delivers the Burdette Lecture with striking array of high-risk salvage surgery for prostate cancer and bladder cancer. Professor Egawa is Chairman of the Department of Urology at Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan.

Dr Walter J. Burdette (1915-2006), who was a distinguished surgeon, clinician and researcher, established Lectureships in Surgical Science in Oxford for the purpose of providing funding to the Nuffield Department of Surgery for distinguished speakers to present an annual Burdette Lecture.

Many of the things that will be in this talk may never happen, some of them will happen and some of them are already happening. How they will evolve and to what extent, and how all of these things will blend into one future will be interesting to explore.
