In this months surgery themed journal club we will be welcoming Dr Jasmin Abbott, a junior doctor and academic who will be presenting and leading discussion on labour rights abuse in the manufacturing of healthcare products.

Jasmin Abbott is an early career doctor and pre-doctoral academic with an interest in sustainable healthcare and health inequities. During medical school and foundation training, they completed a novel research study evaluating the risk of labour rights abuses within supply chains to healthcare organisations within high-income countries. They have presented this work to international audiences, including at SHARE Conference and as part of circular healthcare training provided by Healthcare Without Harm. They have also written on this topic in the Bulletin of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. They are currently working as a clinical fellow in sustainable healthcare for University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust where they lead on projects aiming to reduce the carbon footprint from use of inhalers within secondary care settings.

The paper titled 'Country of Origin of Medical Products and Risk of Labour Rights Abuse: A Cross-Sectional Analysis Using Four Procurement Datasets' is available to pre-read in the side deck section of this event or via this link:
