Ten years after the World Health Assembly resolution on global surgery, progress is real, but millions still lack access to safe, timely care.
This #GlobalSurgeryDay, we’re calling for bold, practical steps to close the gap.

From today, the term ‘junior doctor’ is being replaced by the more appropriate ‘resident doctor’.
This follows work done by your reps at a national level, and has been picked up by the mainstream media.
Congratulations on the start of a new era to your profession.
🚨We have a new title: BMA Residents 🚨
A long time coming, and after much hard work, junior doctors will now be called Resident Doctors.
This new title better reflects their huge range of skills and responsibilities.

Bad mentors see you as building their brand. They take credit for your success.
Good mentors see you as a younger version of themselves. They help you follow in their footsteps.
Great mentors see your potential to be a better version of yourself. They help you find your path.

🚨 North Atlantic right whales are on the brink of #extinction. There are so few left that we know many of them by name & we know what’s killing them—collisions with vessels & entanglement in fishing gear. Sign our petition now to help protect North Atlantic right whales. 🐋✍️

You will ALL be each other at some time
We are just in different dimensions—
This isn’t a competition of status.
This is a collaboration of time
respect where others are now
you were, are, or will be them.
