The Scandinavian Surgical Society (SSS)

Nordic surgical collaboration has long traditions. The Scandinavian Surgical Society (SSS) / Nordisk Kirurgisk Förening (NKF) was founded in 1893, and is the oldest international surgical association in the world. All the surgeons in the Nordic countries belong to the Nordic Surgical Society through their national surgical associations.

  • Swedish Surgical Society
  • Danish Surgical Society
  • Norwegian Surgical Association
  • Finnish Surgical Society
  • Icelandic Surgical Society

The purpose of the society is to promote scientific and clinical practice and training in the field of surgery in the Nordic countries, as well as to promote scientific and clinical exchange between the Nordic surgeons.

Best practices for digital presentation

  • Find a location that is well-lit with natural sunlight or plenty of indoor lighting
  • Choose a quiet location with little background noise (street sounds or other people)
  • Avoid spaces with lots of echo
  • Turn off air conditioners and heaters to avoid fan noise
  • Provide a seat for yourself that is stationary and quiet (no chairs with wheels/swivels, overstuffed cushions, or squeaky screws)
  • Set your laptop, phone, or camera on a tripod or steady surface (please do not hold your camera while shooting to avoid shaky footage)
  • Shoot horizontally (use landscape mode and avoid portrait mode)
  • Position camera at eye level (if you can, avoid angles where the camera lens is looking up or down on you)
  • Choose a non-distracting background (avoid windows, showing other people, posters/signs that can be read etc)
  • Position yourself so windows are facing you
  • Expose for your face and not the background (many phone cameras will automatically adjust the video brightness when you tap your face on the touch screen)
  • Avoid back light (light that is behind you) and overhead lights
  • If shooting with indoor lighting, use lots of lamps
  • To make sure your face is evenly lit indoors, you can place two lamps at 45 degree angles from the front of your face. Set your camera in between the lamps.
  • Look at the camera at all times
  • Keep your hand movements to a minimum
  • Stand/sit up straight
  • Keep your hands to your side or gently folded in front of you (no crossed arms)
  • Keep your shoulders relaxed
  • Clothing with colors that blend in with your background
  • Patterns (stripes, plaids, polka dots)
  • Shiny fabrics or jewelry
  • Visible labels, logos, text, images
  • Wrinkled clothes
  • All white or all black clothing
  • Noisy accessories that could interfere with your audio
