Advice to pass on from the other side of a hill.
If they regard medicine as a job they will probably pretty quickly be disillusioned. It’s an awful job.
However, as a vocation they will have some of the very best (and probably some of the very worst) experiences of their lives.

Wow. A powerful and thought-provoking lecture from Mei Nortley at #ASGBI2026 examining medical practitioner tribunals involving sexual misconduct.
An important discussion around professionalism, accountability, culture and maintaining trust within surgery and healthcare.

Excellent presentation from Michael Okocha at #ASGBI2026 on his Averil Mansfield Fellowship.
A fantastic example of how fellowships can broaden perspectives, develop leadership and foster international collaboration within surgery.
