Every #TDNFTuesday we share resources to help & inspire those interested in humanitarian surgery

We’ve rarely shared something quite so humbling, provoking & inspiring as this

Thanks @BehindTheKnife @georgoff for the podcast & @Ammar_Darwish1 @NottFoundation for your example

@haveigotnews The autobiography would be ‘Pride and Prejudice’, surely

Well done Macca! As always you’ve brought out the best in those around you 🏆

[Movember UK @MovemberUK]

🏆 SHOWING HOW IT'S DONE

For the Mo Bro or Sister who has made it their mission to change attitudes and behaviours.

This year we’re proud to announce ‘Hairy Faces for Harry’ as the 2024 winners - who did it all in memory of their friend, brother, colleague… Harry McAleer. 🖤

Today is the World Day of Social Justice ⚖️. Of course that’ll be our theme for #TDNFTuesdays this week! It’s a day dedicated to reflect on what needs to be done to reduce global inequalities for all.

[Tom Sullivan @tomxsullivan]

This is really really worth listening to

Interesting how discussion about the strikes feels so much more grown up with the politicians aren’t involved

[ASGBI Moynihan Academy @ASGBI_MA]

This #MondayUpdate there are just so many exciting 📢📢 training updates 📢📢 to tell you about we honestly don't know where to start...

So it’s Day 30 of Movember and we’ve been astounded by the phenomenal support. Our friend Harry sadly passed away this summer and now almost £70 000 (!!) has been donated in his honour. It’s such an important cause, Harry would be proud. Support here: https://t.co/tDOH0wgHF6

MOVEMBER HALF WAY UPDATE. The support has been absolutely extraordinary (almost 15k raised already!) and the moustaches have been… mixed. And many a conversation started about mental health.
