It was fantastic to have Eddie Chang join us @QSNeurosurgery for our annual Victor Horsley Lecture.

Our student internship programme is OPEN for applications! Hear from previous intern Nikhita Bhatt on her work on MSCC, a critical neurosurgical condition requiring prompt attention. Apply at link below! 📅 Deadline: 14 May 2026 🔗 lnkd.in/eEdvCcSD

We have been very lucky to have some outstanding interns join us over the years. Most recently, Geena Capps and Nikhita Bhatt, have been fantastic additions to our group. Please do apply if keen.

2/2 All credit to them: talented, hardworking & genuinely lovely people. To those who didn’t get the number they wanted this year - you're in great company. Most of our group were in that position once (myself included). Keep going.

1/2 Huge congrats to those from Queen Square securing neurosurgery training posts - especially our TeQ group stars who are staying in London as ACFs, Dr George Hudson and Dr Feras Fayez. That’s now 20 progressing from our group since its inception seven years ago.

@ColumbiaNeuro @VardhaanAmbati Looking forward to welcoming you to @QSNeurosurgery soon!

Today is #MatchDay2026! We’re thrilled to welcome three new residents joining the Columbia Neurosurgery team! Please join us in congratulating: 🧠 @VardhaanAmbati, MD, MS 🧠 Harrison Howell, MD 🧠 Alexander Kim, MD, PhD

@TEQ_Neurosurg @EmDimitrakakis The legend himself, @EmDimitrakakis.

We are so excited to be joined by @EmDimitrakakis, CEO of Panda Surgical to discuss their incredible innovative work developing handheld robots for minimally invasive #neurosurgery

@DrWalterJean Excited to see!

NEW BOOK! The "keyhole" concept is 30 years old, and we are excited to be part of the MIS movement, if you can still call it that. A lot of sweat went into this from my co-editors and I owe them, and the staff at Thieme, my gratitude. To all the contributors, "thank you" as well, and I hope everyone enjoys the book. You can find it on Amazon and shop.thieme.com/Video-Atlas-of… @KunalVakhariaMD

How do you feel about robots in neurosurgery? Our team at Queen Square, led by @hani_marcus is running a short survey to understand patient and public views on robotic technology in minimally invasive neurosurgery! 🧠 Open to patients & the public docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

6th June: Neuro-Oncology Course Info & Registration: rb.gy/j40j2c Join us at the Queen Square Simulation Centre for a hands-on neuro-oncology course focused on the practical use of modern surgical adjuncts in brain tumour surgery. This one-day course is designed to give trainees meaningful hands-on exposure to technologies that increasingly shape day-to-day neuro-oncological practice. The course is built around small-group, station-based simulation sessions covering 5-ALA–guided tumour resection, intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative neuromonitoring, diffusion tensor imaging, and minimally invasive approaches. Emphasis is placed on how these tools are used in real operative workflows, how to interpret the information they provide, and how they influence intraoperative decision-making. All practical sessions are delivered with close faculty supervision, allowing time for hands-on practice, discussion, and feedback in a high-fidelity simulation environment. The course is aimed at mid- to senior-level trainees looking to consolidate their understanding of contemporary neuro-oncology techniques and translate them safely into clinical practice.

We are always delighted to host residents from @ColumbiaNeuro at Queen Square – they’re consistently brilliant.
