A fantastic day joining the RCS Presidential visit to Cambridge @RCSnews where I am fortunate to work @CUH_NHS @Cambridge_Uni and hearing about inspirational and cutting edge research and excellent patient care.

[The Royal College of Surgeons of England @RCSnews]

Surgical innovation goes beyond tech—it’s about better care for patients & the teams who treat them. On our visit to Cambridge, we saw world-leading research, advanced training & vital wellbeing initiatives like Doctors for Doctors, supporting surgeons to provide the best care.

[Francisca Ferreira @FranciscaFFerr]

Great strides and much more to come!
