I am deeply honoured to have delivered the BJS Lecture at the ASGBI International Surgical Congress. Emergency surgery is a field where every decision counts, and having the opportunity to share knowledge and experience with the ASGBI audience was incredibly rewarding. It is truly inspiring to be part of a community that values collaboration, education, and innovation, and to contribute to advancing care for emergency patients.
