Welcome
AGES is the premier gynaecological surgical association representing
the majority of practising gynaecologists in Australia and New Zealand.
With over 500 active members, including gynaecologists, fellows and
registrars, the society is amongst the largest and most active of
all surgical bodies in the southern hemisphere.
Since its inception in 1990, AGES has steadily built on its mission
to promote the safest and highest standards of clinical and minimally
invasive surgical care for women through education, surgical training
and clinical research.
To this end, AGES has been organising regular meetings and activities
for its members including:
- Annual scientific meeting
- Special focus symposia in pelvic floor, endometriosis, office
gynaecology, practice management, risk management
- Surgical workshops
- Fellowship training program
- Clinical research
AGES believes that most gynaecological problems can be safely managed
by minimally invasive surgery using laparoscopic, hysteroscopic or
vaginal approaches. AGES strives to help its members achieve the
appropriate training, evaluate the latest evidence and deliver the
benefits of this form of surgery to their patients.
AGES has supported the RANZCOG in the development of guidelines for
performing advanced operative laparoscopy and endoscopic surgery,
and in continuing professional development (CPD) through many of
its innovative practice review and clinical risk management (PR and
CRM) programs.
AGES is proud to be affiliated with some of the largest endoscopic
societies in the world, such as the AAGL and the ISGE. Many AGES
board members continue to serve on the board of these and other international
societies. This is a reflection of the strength and experience of
our organisation, and our willingness to exchange and learn new ideas
to continually enrich and improve our members’ knowledge and
skills.
The AGES website provides consumers, members and guests with information
regarding its state-of-the-art conferences, surgical workshops, and
the surgical services available in the continually developing field
of minimally invasive surgery.
Please take a moment to enjoy our website and please feel free to
provide us with suggestions on how we can improve its contents.
