This brief seminar addresses healthcare professionals and principal investigators with ongoing or proposed research projects processing personal data. To get an overview of the complex legal framework within Union law can be challenging and time consuming. Nevertheless, dealing with GDPR and considering patients´ rights is of utmost importance to avoid extraordinarily high penalties for non-compliance. The widespread adoption of real-world-evidence research utilizing registries, health insurance claims data, and sophisticated Big Data methods is leading to an increasing spectrum of technical terms necessary for discussions with data protection officers, research data and computer scientists and patients. This seminar aims to help attendees to gain access to this stiff subject.

Chaired by Prof. Henrik Sillesen (Denmark), this seminar dealing with clinical leadership is for vascular surgeons with an ambition of becoming dept. leaders, head of department or chairman and for existing leaders who wish to seek inspiration or discuss issues from their own experience. The seminar will discuss how you make your colleagues or doctoral staff work for their department. Rather than working as individuals with their own patients more synergy and development may evolve if everybody engages in what is best for the department and its patients. Experienced leaders will discuss their experience with leadership and which models they have worked with and what that may result in.

Lecture: Interpreting Hazards and Benefits in Surgical Trials
Prof. Sir Richard Peto
Professor of Medical Statistics And Epidemiology,
Co-Director, Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit
University of Oxford, UK
Sir Richard Peto, FRS, is currently Professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oxford, and co-director (with Professor Sir Rory Collins) of the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit (CTSU). He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1989 for introducing meta-analyses of randomised trials, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1999 for services to epidemiology, and received in 2010 and 2011 the Cancer Research UK and the BMJ Lifetime Achievement Award.
Richard Peto, Rory Collins and others in the Oxford CTSU have, by their large randomised trials, large prospective studies and worldwide meta-analyses, increased substantially the estimated importance of blood lipids, blood pressure and smoking as causes of premature death. Peto has recently collaborated in major studies of alcohol in Russia and of malaria in Africa and India. His investigations into the worldwide health effects of smoking and benefits of stopping at particular ages have helped to communicate effectively the vast and growing burden of disease from tobacco use, have helped change national and international attitudes about smoking and public health, and have helped many smokers to stop. He was the first to describe clearly the future worldwide health effects of current smoking patterns, predicting one billion deaths from tobacco in the present century if current smoking patterns persist, as against ‘only’ 100 million in the 20th century.

Description – This seminar dealing with clinical leadership is for vascular surgeons with an ambition of becoming dept. leaders, head of department or chairman and for existing leaders who wish to seek inspiration or discuss issues from their own experience. The seminar will discuss how you make your colleagues or doctoral staff work for their department. Rather than working as individuals with their own patients more synergy and development may evolve if everybody engages in what is best for the department and its patients. Experienced leaders will discuss their experience with leadership and which models they have worked with and what that may result in.

Description – Vascular Surgery is a very dynamic, but young speciality in many European countries. How about its position in the Academic world? Are medical students taught vascular surgery? What are the conditions for performing research? High level academic research needs academic resources, funding, structural independence from neighboring specialties (i.e. general surgery, heart surgery) – but on the other hand, collaboration with associated scientists very often increases value and quality. We have asked Academic leaders from many European countries to present the current situation in their country. What are the problems and what are the strategies for success. Success stories or role models? We think we can learn from each other and move forward faster if together.

Description – This is an important seminar for all professionals involved with fluoroscopically guided procedures. Opinion leaders from around the world will outline why occupational radiation exposure is increasingly of concern, discuss essential practices to help minimise exposure in the operating room and report on cutting edge guidance techniques for carrying out endovascular interventions that may circumvent the need for radiation. It is hoped that vascular interventionists and allied staff will join this seminar to share their attitudes towards occupational radiation exposure and learn best practice.
Meet the Presenter – Bijan Modarai, PhD FRCS qualified in medicine from Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital in 1998 and obtained a PhD in 2006. He completed his vascular surgical training in London and as a visiting Fellow at The Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney. He was appointed as a Senior Lecturer and Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in 2012. Since then he has led a translational programme of vascular research, producing over 50 high impact publications with several national/international prizes awarded to his research team. He was made Reader in Vascular Surgery in 2015 and appointed as a Hunterian Professor by The Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2016. He was awarded a Senior Fellowship by the British Heart Foundation in 2017. His clinical practice is focused on complex endovascular aortic repair and he uses this workload to inform novel assessment of the effects of radiation exposure in the operating room and develop strategies to minimise exposure. Mr Modarai sits on the Councils of the British Society for Endovascular Therapy and examines for the Fellowship of European Board of Vascular Surgery.

What are Fast-Track Oral Presentations Sessions?
Fast Track Oral Presentation Sessions are each constituted of 20 short oral presentations, selected amongst the 602 submitted abstracts for their high-level scientific value. A total of eight sessions will run on Tuesday, 19 September.
Each session will be chaired by a Jury of five experts. Presenters will have 4 minutes of presentation and 2 minutes to answer the questions from the Jury.
The top-scored presentations from each session will be selected to present an extended version of their abstract in one of the Plenary Scientific Sessions on Thursday, 21 or Friday, 22 September.
