We hosted a surgical session in the Macewen labs for some P6 school pupils last week. Kids had a blast, I love their feedback including “I enjoyed: 1. The camera thingy 2. The weird jelly thingy 3. Colouring. Love Vanna” Great infectious fun @rcpsglasgow

BOA response to The Times (1st May, 2025) article suggesting orthopaedic surgery is primarily suited to men due to the physical nature of the work: “outdated and derogatory.” BOA President Mark Bowditch: “Skill, judgement and teamwork—not gender—define a good surgeon.” Read it here: bit.ly/4cYpibT #WomenInSurgery #OrthoEquality
