Perhaps itโs the archaeologist in me, but celebrating Jordanโs 80th Independence Day at the @NHM_London felt especially fitting.
My sincere thanks to H.E Amb. @ManarMDabbas for the kind invitation and to the team at the @JOembassyUK for their warm hospitality.

Excellent few days at the Liverpool Aortic Symposium XI 2026, contributing as Faculty alongside international experts in aortic surgery, genetics, imaging and endovascular intervention.
A particular highlight was meeting Professors Bart Loeys and Harry Dietz, whose pioneering work led to the identification of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome and transformed our understanding of heritable aortic disease.
Great discussions, collaboration and learning with colleagues dedicated to advancing aortic care.

Featured once again in #SurgeonsAtTheEdgeOfLife on BBC Two & BBC Scotland, showcasing the complexity of modern aortic surgery.
This episode highlights the collaboration between vascular & cardiac aortic teams, anaesthetists, perfusionists, intensivists, nursing staff & the wider MDT delivering complex aortic arch, thoracic & thoracoabdominal surgery at the Scottish National Aortic Service, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
Proud to work alongside exceptional colleagues and grateful to the patients & families who allowed their journeys to be shared.

Proud to share our work published in @BJSurgery 25-year national experience of open thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair from the Scottish National TAAA Service (424 cases).
Durable surgery, significant risk, outcomes driven by aneurysm extent โ reinforcing the value of centralised, high-volume care. @VascularMGroup@EdiAorticSummit@BJSurgery@ROForsythe@e_c_mcgregor
