So you're not a medic therefore this doesn't apply to you- WRONG!
With a number of categories proposed, we are particularly interested in exploring surgery from a non-medical point of view as well as from our fellow medics, which is where we hope all students, staff & doctors will come into play. Possible categories include: -
- Breakthrough developments in the field of surgery
- The future of Women in Surgery
- International Surgery (Developing countries, warzones, differing technology & procedures; we want to hear it all!)
- Short reviews (~500) on the surgical iBSc's/courses
- History of surgery/surgeons (including ancient history)
- Surgery and law (Interesting cases brought against or by surgeons & laws a surgeon must be aware of)
- Ethics and Surgery.
- Surgical Patient Safety in relation to the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, or otherwise
- Surgery education as a guide of various instruments/procedures that you come across
- Surgery and art. What does Surgery mean to you- show us via painting, sketch, sculpture or photoshop! (High quality pictures please)
- Letters or questions for the Society or about Surgery in general.
- Miscellaneous: Any amazing idea that doesn't fit into any of the above, surprise us! This list is endless.
