The 2025 UK surgical workforce census is now open. It’s quick, confidential and vital for driving real change. Your input has already influenced government talks on shortages, wellbeing & training. Have your say before 23 June: ow.ly/CrKW50VKns4

Please spend a few minutes completing the census, so that we can best represent the true state of surgery.

It’s June 2025 and I’ve just been refused earwax removal treatment from Specsavers because of being HIV+ (despite explaining that I’m undetectable and what that means which should be common knowledge to those in such a profession). Stigma never ends. I WILL be taking it

We’re proud to celebrate the strength, contributions and visibility of our LGBTQ+ members, staff and allies across the UK—not just during Pride Month, but all year round. Happy #PrideMonth 🏳️‍🌈 The Royal College of Surgeons of England
