@bolshinskyv Hi Vladimir, you may have noticed engagement on X has declined, and many of our members have moved to Bluesky – a platform similar to X that's free to join and use. We've made the move to ensure we're reaching the surgical community where they’re most active.

The traditional @RACSurgeons Women in Surgery photo at #RACS25 Was so wonderful to see the staircase filled with so many surgeons. It is always my favourite moment every year as Chair of Women in Surgery.

For those who couldn’t make it to the RACS ASC this weekend (3-6 May), we’re sharing a little piece of the experience. This stunning Ken Done painting, Postcard from Sydney, is hanging in the International Convention Centre. We wish you were here.

The Foundation for Surgery Fundraising Gala took place on Friday evening to raise funds for the Foundation for Surgery and support the work of RACS Global Health. It was inspiring to hear from keynote speakers speak about their work in the Pacific and beyond.
