Cyberattacks are no longer an IT problem, they are a patient safety problem.
A fascinating and highly relevant talk from Peter Gogalniceanu on healthcare resilience, cyber security, and the vulnerability of modern surgical systems at #ASGBI2026#CyberSecurity#PatientSafety #NHS #Surgery
@Schoolofsurg Congratulations Jon. I find myself increasingly jealous of colleagues who have finished the course (largely) unscathed!
It’s really sad but I suspect the feeling must be more of a bullet dodged than a quiet satisfaction of a job well done.
We are really looking forward to hearing from our keynote lecturers at #ASGBI2025!
Motivational Lecturer - Mr Martin Griffiths
Bland Sutton Lecturer - Professor Lydia Cairncross
BJS Lecturer - Professor Dana Telem

Recommendations for safe and efficient EGS care
1⃣Safe staffing levels are essential, defined by EGS admissions and inpatient volume, not hospital size
2⃣ EGS services should be available and contracted 24/7, including for both consultant surgeons and anaesthetists
3⃣ There should be a lead clinician for EGS with allocated contracted time
4⃣ Daily input from geriatricians for older patients, irrespective of procedure, should be available

Not content with launching one award today, we are delighted to announce that applications are also open for the Averil Mansfield Travelling Fellowship!
This award of up to £2500 is open to ASGBI members who are non-consultant doctors and supports visits to centres of excellence in emergency general surgery (EGS) across the UK and worldwide.
Deadline - 28th February.
Big upgrade to the award this year!
Definitely worth applying - especially now it can be completed from anywhere in the world.
Seems unfair consultants are excluded!
The entire conversation on robotic surgery is too polarizing… the critics don’t use the 🤖at all and the supporters feel like it needs to be used for everything
IMO there needs to be more robot ‘centrists’ out there who will say it’s good for some things and not others.
Delighted to represent @asgbi at the Visit Belfast Ambassador Awards in Titanic,
Belfast. @VisitBelfast were fantastic in their support for our conference held in ICC Belfast. Honoured to pick up 2 awards on behalf of Team @asgbi#ambassadorawards24
