For many surgeons, pension tax remains one of the most complex aspects of retirement planning. While the Lifetime Allowance has been abolished, important considerations remain, including Annual Allowance charges, new lump sum limits and the ongoing implications of the McCloud remedy.
Join specialists from Chase de Vere for a practical webinar designed to help you better understand the pension tax issues that could affect their retirement plans.

During this webinar, we'll help you understand:
- Whether you could be affected by an Annual Allowance tax charge
- The options available if you face an Annual Allowance liability
- What the abolition of the Lifetime Allowance means in practice
- The new limits that now apply to tax-free lump sums and death benefits
- The latest developments surrounding McCloud and what they could mean for you
- Practical considerations to help you make informed retirement planning decisions

Day Surgery Urology: Transforming Your Service - BADS Conference
WEDNESDAY 21st OCTOBER 2026 - VIRTUAL, Online
Urology is a specialty that is especially attuned to day surgery procedures. Variation is still present Nationally and barriers exist to achieving higher daycase rates and excellence in day surgery. In this conference we aim to address these barriers and a series of experts will discuss their tips and techniques. Day Surgery is the key to Elective Surgical Recovery and increasing education about day surgery pathways and techniques supports moving to efficient day surgery practice to reduce waiting times and improve outcomes for day surgery procedures whilst simultaneously increasing beds available for major inpatient surgery.
Reduced complication rates and earlier mobilisation benefit the patients as well as better recovery in their own home.

The Role of the Day Surgery Team - BADS conference
WEDNESDAY 18th NOVEMBER 2026 - VIRTUAL, Online
The presence of dedicated, knowledgeable, multi-skilled day surgery practitioners (the day surgery team) is essential in ensuring safe and efficient day surgery service delivery with the best patient experience. This one-day virtual conference aims to provide support for day surgery teams in achieving these goals. Good clinical practice, accompanied by explanation of underlying principles, at each stage of the day surgery pathway will be reviewed, along with discussion of when it is acceptable to question traditional practice, how the day surgery team can contribute to successful development of new day surgery pathways and inform development and innovation of multi-skilling within the day surgery process.

Breast Surgery as Day Surgery - BADS Conference
WEDNESDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2026 - VIRTUAL, Online
A wide range of breast procedures, including many oncoplastic surgeries, can be delivered as a day case with good clinical outcomes and excellent patient experience. Despite these benefits, significant variation in day surgery performance persists nationally, usually, because of misperceptions that such practice is unsafe or requires complicated service reconfiguration.
The aim of this one-day virtual conference, produced by the British Association of Day Surgery, is to provide an opportunity to share learning about successful day-case breast surgery and showcase what can be achieved, including key aspects of the day surgery pathway, current guidance and using data in its successful delivery.

Hip Fracture Summit: Improving Care, Outcomes & Patient Experience
WEDNESDAY 25th NOVEMBER 2026 - VIRTUAL, Online
This important and timely conference will focus on improving care and outcomes for hip fracture patients, learning from the latest National Hip Fracture Database findings and supporting progress against NICE guidance and quality standards. The 2025 NHFD Annual Report, Room for improvement: hip fracture care in 2024, demonstrates that although hip fracture care has improved over time, unacceptable variation remains in access to the right ward, timely surgery, mobilisation, rehabilitation, bone protection and recovery. The conference will also reflect on the forthcoming 2026 NHFD findings.
