Such a privilege to have @MichaelCrippsMD at our @asgbi congress in Brighton. I can confirm that’s he’s loved it so far and keen to be a @SAGES_Updates faculty again next year in #Manchester

Excellent presentation from Michael Okocha at #ASGBI2026 on his Averil Mansfield Fellowship.
A fantastic example of how fellowships can broaden perspectives, develop leadership and foster international collaboration within surgery.

He’s very happy to have finally made it to the Congress. Rupert was our little mascot during the virtual COVID-19 Congress in 2020 and has been a member of the virtual executive committee meetings keeping us all on the straight and narrow. @asgbi #ASGBI2026

Great turnout for the @BJSAcademy Symposium at #ASGBI2026 👏
Matt Lee presenting key BJS and BJS Open highlights in Emergency Surgery, translating important evidence into practical insight for everyday surgical practice.
Exactly the kind of bite-sized intelligence surgeons want more of.
#ASGBI2026
This talk had the room silent. Healthcare resilience can’t be an afterthought. Hospitals being bombed in conflicts like Ukraine, cyber attacks, fake scans, manipulated reports, blood supply disruption, terrifying scenarios, but very real risks. @asgbi
#ASGBI2026
A surgeon from China spoke on AI in surgery today, huge potential, but huge ethical questions too. I’ve had robotic surgery myself… would I trust fully autonomous AI to remove my colon? I’m not convinced yet.@asgbi
#ASGBI2026 Same-day discharge colectomy: I was on the fence, but the evidence was compelling. Careful selection, strong ERAS pathways & daily follow-up seem key. Less about if it works, more whether it can scale safely and whether patients underreport pain. @asgbi
#ACC2026. I always love the live viva for new consultants 👏 Key patient perspective: don’t overlook stoma care nurses, support groups, and pain management during exams. Strong performances overall,
Patients in good hand🙌 @ASCNUK @ia_manager @ColostomyUK
