Agree 👌@BruceBiccard is a legend 🙏
His lecture was truly inspirational.
Bruce highlighted the challenges faced when aspiring to improve surgical outcomes in Africa …another mountain he is endeavoring to summit 👌@wfsaorg @UniofOxford @UCT_news

@BruceBiccard has to be one of the most self-effacing and most impressive people I know
An absolute pleasure to attend Bruce’s inaugural lecture as Nuffield Professor of Anaesthesia inOxford
A man with true passion for Africa, academia, anaesthesia and surgical equity
Delighted for you Bruce

I was proud to present our work in Wollongong here in Hong Kong. Our first 15 years of free flap surgery - a love letter to my team and our patients. We are so lucky to have such a strong team. Special shout out to nurses Jenny and Steph, and our leader Bruce who assembled us.

Dr Ranjana Srivastava @docranjana emphasising the importance of doctors using their expertise to help patients choose wisely. Don't just hand them a menu of options without guidance. Add to this compassion and empathy. Great advice! #PERISIG24 @ANZCA @ASA_Australia @GuardianAus

The @ANZCA Course in Perioperative Medicine starts today! A culmination of years of hard work (and a successful pilot late last year). Good luck to the 26 participants – FANZCAs, surgeons and physicians – at 18 hospitals across NZ and Australia.
