The filming location for the @RATW_official reunion programme looked strangely familiar... was it filmed in the beautiful library at the Royal College of Surgeons, in London @RCSnews?

It was great to bring the Council of AUGIS together yesterday for a really productive and engaging meeting. It was fantastic to hear about the progress made since we last met, the exciting work currently underway, and the ambitions for the months ahead.
We also had important discussions around the priorities for the next year, and plenty of planning for our upcoming ASM!
Always encouraging to see such commitment, collaboration, and shared focus on continuing to move AUGIS forward.
Thank you to everyone for making the time to attend, despite such busy schedules.
