A Global Conference

The GASOC International Conference 2022 will be hosted in Sheffield City Hall, UK, on the 22-23rd of October. Everyone is welcome, including medical students, trainees and allied health professionals from all surgical specialties, anaesthesia, obstetrics and gynaecology with a passion for global health. There will be something for everyone, with a range of keynote speeches from inspiring leaders in global health, breakout skills sessions, and opportunities to present your research through our e-poster hall. Finally, delegates will have a chance to meet our sponsors and exhibitors both online and in-person.

Sustainable Global Surgery

The theme of this year's conference is Sustainable Global Surgery. This is an exceptionally important topic as sustainability impacts every aspect of healthcare training and service delivery. Through this conference, we hope to not only tackle areas concerning environmental sustainability but also take on a broader approach and explore sustainability in other aspects, including sustainable training programmes, sustainable global partnerships, and sustainable innovation.

Thanks, everybody. So now I just like to invite to the stage of gas up president to have some final words. Thank you. Hm. Thank you very much dot Um, and Kathy for that amazing session. I certainly learned a lot. I'm a bit biased because I love innovation. So that was that was a great session. So, uh wow, I don't really quite know what to say. I'm still a bit days from the bar last night, but it's been an amazing conference, and I don't have a huge speech or anything like that. I just scribble down a few quick, quick comments, but I think some of the things that we've covered, uh, I've been absolutely essential. And I hope that you've you've you've gained a good understanding from this. Um, so I'm just getting loads of messages pop up as well. On my right side, there's, like, loads of what groups happening at the same time. So what have we covered? Well, we've looked at the unmet need in global surgery, um, and anesthesia and obstetric care. So for those of you, I spoke to quite a lot of people yesterday. Who this is some of the first sort of global health stuff that they've been involved with. So hopefully, you know, understand the unmet need that that it is. It is still enormous, and we have a huge amount to do before 2030. And we know what the indicators are to try and improve care by that stage. But that's really only in seven years. So, um, it's not a long time. So we need as much action as well as advocacy and meetings like this. So I hope you you go forth and, uh, and do something amazing in this space. And if we can ever help you do that, then let us know, even if it's just I'm boasting you're connecting it to someone, it might be of significant value. Hopefully, um, we've learned about sustainability issues at all levels and facets, um, from devices through the policy planning, training. Um, and we've also had some amazing research on display in posters or presentations and the S a competition. And again, congratulations to the winners. And thank you so much for everyone who spend, you know, to spend some time to submit. Um, I also have to thank all of the committee again thank them a lot, but I just want to make sure that they know that it's been amazing to work with you over the last 12 months. And I hope that we get to continue to do amazing projects and conferences and things together in the future. Thank you so much to everyone for everything. I also want to thank the Sheffield City Hall team for this amazing venue and all the food and refreshments and looking after us and helping us navigate this maze. But, uh, it's been incredible. And to the HIV team who are hiding down here. Thank you very much, guys. And to meddle who are obviously provided are online platform and, of course, our our sponsors the final sort of group of people I want to thank as yourselves. Thank you so much for giving up your weekend. You know, that's precious time that you could be spending elsewhere, I guess. But I hope that you've had you've taken away something and you've had a good time as we've had putting it on. Um, we've had people from 50 countries here with us today, or virtually which I think is a fantastic achievement. I do wish you a safe, safe journey home and, uh, very fruitful career in global health. And whatever your chosen specialties, maybe, um, one quick thing is make sure you scan the QR code and logged onto the metal platform in the chat. There's going to be a link to a feedback form, and that's really important that you feel like it, because when you do your get your certificate and evidence and everything that you need for your, um, for your portfolios. So I hope that you continue engaging with gas stock. We have, like, a range of things that we do projects, events. So just follow us on social media and our website and join our mailing list. And please do join join our team as well. When we have committee applications. Be great to work with a load of you. Some of you are doing some amazing things which I've never heard of. So, uh, you know, I just love hearing about it, and I would love to work with you on a number of projects going forward. Um, there is one final thing that I think we should do, which I think is really important. And although It's been a big team effort to get here with one person that's done a huge amount to get us here. And this is a gene. The machine is what is called allergy in the conference queen, whichever hashtag we want to get trending. But, Gene, thank you so much for coordinating us and putting all of us this on today. It's been a huge success, and it definitely was not nowhere near possible without you. So thank you so much. And we do have a little something for you, so if you could come up to receive that Thank you so much. Uh huh. Okay. Well done. Oh, and I think also thanks to Well, our president has led us all the way as well. Not that he didn't have enough last night. A bottle of wine. Thanks, everyone. Safe trip home
