The Future of Sinus Surgery
Future gazIng is fraught with difficulty and uncertainty but in the spirit of the NZOHNS 2020 theme: ‘Look Back, Look Forward’, only by reflecting on the past can we determine how the future will unfold. Without doubt we are entering an exciting period in both medical and surgical aspects of rhinology. The introduction of novel medications and technologies will initiate a further sea-change in practice. However, all of this must take place against a horizon of real reductions in healthcare spending across the globe. It is our role as clinicians and scientists to ensure we introduce only clinical and cost effective developments, underpinned by good quality evidence, to allow us to work in partnerships with our patients bringing this to fruition.

Value Based Rhinology - Revisiting Local Anaesthetic Surgery
The driver's to consider a move to ambulatory local anaesthetic nasal procedures comes from a number of sources, not least patients themselves. This talk will explore the key benefits of such a shift in practice. An explanation of how to initiate, develop and progress a service will be discussed. Clinical outcomes patient experience will be shared well as the cost advantages to both and ENT service at the hospital in general.
