The Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at the Princess Alexandra Hospital is pleased to conduct the 9th Multidisciplinary Conference on Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery for Head and Neck and Endocrine Surgeons and Endocrinologists at Sofitel, Noosa on 9-11 November 2023.
This course is designed to demonstrate the most effective surgical techniques, philosophies and technologies in the treatment of thyroid and parathyroid conditions.
