Thank you for celebrating #internationalwomensday2024 with us and sharing how we can all inspire inclusion in T&O.

Did you spot what orthopaedic tool we used to make the heart shape? It’s bone nibblers!

@LindaCornish8 @BSSHand Reduced use of anaesthetic gases, which are a large contributor to carbon emissions…

#BOAAC23 @BSSHand
Great talk about reducing our carbon footprint through prevention, less waste and small changes. As hand surgeons we are particularly well placed to drive this through public education, increased use of local anaesthetic and out of main theatre operating.
