I met with @OpSmileUK last year at an event with impressive LA cleft surgeon and Vice President of @operationsmile Caroline Yao. I said I would love to see their work in practice and they made it happen. Delighted with my @TheLancet piece on their work in Peru.

Proud to share we’re featured in an @TheLancet article by @JacquiThornton, highlighting our work to strengthen health systems and train local health providers in Peru. Through #Operation100, we’re building local capacity and expanding access to care: bit.ly/3RH7M5i

@British_Airways Ok well lots of people are hi-jacking this incident and attempting to scam people. My bag is still at Heathrow with no updates as to likely chance of getting it to Geneva. What should I do? I will run out of clothes again after tomorrow, when I start working at @WHO events

Hi @British_Airways I am moderating at the same conferences as @shiulie_ghosh in Geneva and my bag is also ‘missing’ except I can see exactly where it is in the same spot I left it in T5 yesterday. I have had to spend £800 to get like for like outfits for my work.
Shiulie Ghosh@shiulie_ghosh

In Geneva on a business trip to meet Ministers & health leaders without work clothes, make-up, or even a hairbrush due to today's BA baggage disaster. @British_Airways you said my bag would be flown out tonight but I can see from my Tile it's STILL in T5. How long will it take?

Fantastic event at the @ScienceGalleryL discussing how innovation in cancer can - and must - be sustainable and affordable, for the benefit of patients and clinicians, backed by a firm evidence base. Thanks to an amazing panel, and @icon_london here’s my analysis for @ecancer
Inequalities in Cancer Outcomes Network@icon_lshtm

Can innovation in cancer care be sustainable and affordable? In this new commentary for @ecancer, @Jacquithornton explores whether these goals are really a zero-sum game and what’s at stake for patients and health systems. Read more👇 ecancer.org/en/news/27573-…
