We've also had a great spinal free papers session in parallel. Great talks covering trauma, anatomical variations, intraoperative monitoring for spinal tumour resection, post-operative anaemia and more!Closed out by Mr Inam from the Walton Centre #SBNSEdinburgh2024

Great time last month north of the border at #SBNSEdinburgh2024. Thanks to all who’ve helped with moving this work forward - Keeley Bernhardt Akshay Shah, Paolo, Chrish and especially Chris McKinnon!

One week on from BM BCh graduation with an inspiring group of peers, friends and family. A huge thank you to everyone that has made the last 4 years at University of Oxford so fulfilling. Bring on @NorthMidNHS!

Fantastic weekend helping out on BMMS ‘Students and Juniors weekend’ faculty as an ex-student ambassador. Met some great people (faculty and attendees alike) and enabled a brief North Wales escape from the big smoke ⛰️🥾

Well done mum ❤️ Kathy McClune

Very sad to hear of the death of a very special teacher. I was lucky enough to be taught maths by Mr Broad in year 5 and 6, and undoubtedly owe a lot of where I am today to him. If you’re looking for a good cause to donate to please consider this one. justgiving.com/page/jessica-b…
