International teaching event celebrates its 20th year at Doncaster Royal Infirmary

This year’s ENT Masterclass took place from 26 to 28 January at Doncaster Royal Infirmary. The event, organised by Mr. Shahed Quraishi OBE, consultant and founding director, saw participation and attendance from esteemed professionals in the field of Otolaryngology across 37 lectures, discussions and other interactive sessions.

Otolaryngology, also known as otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, is a specialised medical discipline focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders related to the ears, nose, and throat.

Under the guidance of Mr Quraishi, the ENT Masterclass has emerged as a premier platform for Otolaryngology education, attracting national and international attendance across a range of additional events.

Since its inception 20 years ago, the International ENT Masterclass® platform now provides nearly 2,500 free delegate places per year and provides over 50,000 surgeons free resources annually via its website, and has provided over £15 million worth of free educational resources across four continents.

ENT Trainees, General Practitioners and Senior Nurses from the UK, Europe, Australia, America, Africa and Asia have attended and benefitted from these Masterclasses which cover wide topics including otology, rhinology, laryngology, head and neck surgery, paediatric ENT, radiology, pathology and medico-legal issues.

Reflecting on the success of the event, Mr. Shahed Quraishi OBE, commented, “I am delighted to witness the continued growth and impact of the ENT Masterclass in advancing education and innovation in Otorhinolaryngology. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the participants reaffirm our commitment to excellence in medical education. I want to thank everybody who attended, and supported, this year’s event.

“Here is to another 20 years of innovation, sharing and learning.”

In addition to those attending in person within the Education Centre of Doncaster Royal Infirmary, the event was live-streamed over YouTube, reaching a wider audience and facilitating participation beyond geographical boundaries.

Richard Parker OBE, Chief Executive of Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals, said: “As ever, the hosting of this year’s ENT Masterclass has been a great privilege for our Trust. We are so proud to support initiatives like the ENT Masterclass that contribute to the professional development of healthcare practitioners and enhance patient care, not just locally, but across the world.”
