Events
The International Phillip Zorab Symposia have occurred periodically since 1965 for all clinicians and scientists with an interest in scoliosis aetiology and developing new treatments. Phillip Zorab was a chest physician at the Brompton Hospital in London who developed an expertise in the management of severe scoliosis. He was particularly interested in the aetiology of idiopathic scoliosis.
The first conference was the forerunner of international scoliosis meetings with the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) starting in 1966 and the first French GES meeting being in 1968. These all followed transatlantic travel and an exchange of ideas in the early 60s From the lectures and discussion of the work presented at the symposia sprang worldwide research, which still continues. The symposia have focused on various aspects of scoliosis, and each has been published as a book.
