An evening which involved talks from speakers experienced in the field of innovations in global health, facilitating discussion and networking with global health professionals.

The conference's theme was "Health Equity in Global Surgery, O&G and Anaesthesia".

The conference highlighted the ongoing efforts and challenges towards equitable access to safe surgical, obstetric and anaesthetic care globally and how trainees globally can make a positive impact in these areas.

This collaborative event run by GASOC and OUGSG gave insight into the speakers’ experience in global surgery and research followed by drinks and networking. 

This hybrid event brought together these two organisations and hosted an incredible line up of speakers with unique experiences, covering the spectrum of global surgery (Anaesthesia, Obstetrics and Surgery).

Sustainable Global Surgery impacts every aspect of healthcare training and service delivery. Through this conference, areas concerning environmental sustainability were tackled and on a broader approach sustainability was explored in other aspects, including sustainable training programmes, sustainable global partnerships, and sustainable innovation.

The story of global surgery - past, present and future. Our 2021 conference aimed to provide a background of global surgery as a specialty, outline the challenges in tackling the inequalities  in surgical care worldwide and showcase projects that tackle these disparities. It also focused on innovative approaches in providing care and training globally.

Our workshop this year at the ASiT 2021 annual conference focussed on the significance of task sharing and task shiftingin low and middle income countries.

Our leadership symposium highlighted a series of short talks from leaders in global health from around the world. The speakers included Mr Chihena Banda, Dr Brian Kinirons, Dr Chioma Nwakanma and Mr Aneel Bhangu. The speakers shared their insights into leadership whilst providing suggestions as to how trainees can develop their own experiences to contribute to this field.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a focus on how we used to do things and how we can do things better. To address the challenges the pandemic posed to healthcare, 5 years worth of innovation has happened in just 3 months. Many of the perceived barriers to innovation vanished overnight. To reflect this, we are proud to bring you an international virtual summit to discover how innovation will shape our new future, for surgical trainees and our patients. An unmissable opportunity to be inspired by innovators, exploring technology that will shape your training and practice.
