While leading this organisation I have met royalty, politicians, surgical legends, patients, colleagues, trainees and school pupils. I’ve learnt much, we’ve published research and guidelines and encouraged changes in practice, changes in constitution even changes in theatre attire! I hope ASGBI has helped to demonstrate that there is a place for everyone in surgery and that the key attribute of any surgeon should always be kindness.
