Held in the relaxed surroundings of Fiji’s stunning west coast, the meeting will bring together shoulder and elbow surgeons from New Zealand, and around the world for an outstanding scientific and social programme. Our biennial meetings are known for combining high-quality academic content with an enjoyable collegial atmosphere, and 2027 promises to continue that tradition.

The programme will feature an exceptional international faculty of recognised leaders in shoulder and elbow surgery, alongside expert contributors from New Zealand with faculty including:

Mr Graham Tytherleigh-Strong, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals Trust

Dr Jean-David (JD) Werthel, Hôpital Ambroise Paré, Paris, France

Dr Jonathan Dickens, Duke University

Mr Lee Van Rensburg, Nuffield Health, Cambridge Hospital, UK

Professor Mark Ross, Brisbane Private Hospital, Australia

Professor Kotaro Yamakado - Sports Medicine Center, Kansai Medical University, Hirakata, Japan

Set on the beachfront at Denarau Island, Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa provides the ideal setting for learning, collaboration, and reconnecting with colleagues and friends. We encourage delegates to bring their families and enjoy everything Fiji has to offer alongside the meeting programme.

We look forward to welcoming you to Fiji in July 2027 for what promises to be another memorable NZSES meeting.

Vinaka vakalevu,
