The 7th Asian Australasian Congress of Neurological Surgeons (AACNS)

Leadership of Professor Geoffrey Toakley

The 6th President of the Asian Australasian Society of Neurological Surgeons (AASNS), Professor Geoffrey Toakley from Australia, played a pivotal role in advancing the Society’s goals during his tenure.

A Major Milestone in Brisbane

In October 1987, Professor Toakley organized the 7th AACNS in Brisbane, Australia. This Congress saw the participation of more than 300 delegates, making it one of the largest gatherings to date.

Notable Moments

The 7th Congress was also historically significant as it marked the first attendance of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) President, Kemp Clark, further reinforcing the international reach and importance of the event.

Professor Toakley’s leadership and the success of the 7th AACNS helped further solidify the AASNS’s position as a key player in neurosurgical education and collaboration across the region.
