🚫 Discrimination has no place in surgery. ASiT is appalled by The Times “Skeleton Staff” article and the outdated, sexist, and transphobic stereotypes it perpetuates. Such narratives undermine the #inclusivity and progress our profession has fought hard to achieve. We stand with @BritOrthopaedic, @bota_uk and the @WomenSurgeonsUK in challenging these harmful depictions. Surgery is a career for all, everyone deserves a workplace built on respect and #equality.

ASiT and the Surgical Specialty Training Organisations (SSTOs) call for urgent assurances following the decision to abolish NHS England. Surgical trainees must be protected during this transition, with training structures, national recruitment, and workforce support safeguarded. No training today, no surgeons tomorrow. 🔗 tinyurl.com/DNHSE @10DowningStreet @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk @DHSCmedia @socialmediaAOT @e1v1m1 @bota_uk @BSoT_UK @Dukes_Club @herricksociety @TheMammaryFold1 @ASGBI_MA @FitOmfs @PLASTAUK @roux_group @RouleauxClub @ntccts @TriPS_PaedSurg

Wishing Raiyyan Aftab every success as the new @ASiTofficial President 🙌 We’re excited to work together in the year ahead. A big thank you to @RobertaASiT for your dedication and leadership—it’s been a pleasure working with you. #ASIT2025

On behalf of @rcpsglasgow and @PEteiba we wish Mr Raiyyan Aftab a successful presidency @ASiTofficial and mutual collaboration for the benefit of trainees. Huge thanks to @RobertaASiT for her hard work and dedicated efforts in support of surgical training during her presidency.

I am always amazed by the quality of projects and presentations from UK and RoI medical schools at the Battle of the Surgical Societies!

@Liz_ORiordan @Abi_Rimmer @ASiTofficial Thank you so much for joining us at ASiT conference! It was a great privilege to have you as speakers for our first plenary session led by patients.

Today I had the privilege of hearing @Abi_Rimmer talking about her experience of rectal cancer surgery whilst breastfeeding her new baby. Every HCP needs to hear this. We have a lot to learn. Huge kudos to @ASiTofficial for having a patient panel

So privileged to have had the support of these incredible women during my time as ASiT President!

And the ASiT x Swann-Morton Silver Scalpel Award, winner is... Miss Emma Gray!!! Huge congratulations! 🏆 #ASiT2025

Such a powerful session from Abi and Liz. As surgeons, we have so much to learn from our patients - this was a truly eye-opening discussion at ASiT 2025! #ASiT2025 #LearningFromPatients @Liz_ORiordan @Abi_Rimmer

What an empowering session on parenthood in surgery. So important to break the silence and talk about pregnancy, infertility and the challenges doctors face in their parenthood journey. Thanks to our superb speakers and panel! #ASiT2025

Opening @ASiTofficial 2025 with Meet the College Presidents! @RCSEd @PRCSEd

@Burnt2020 @RCSnews @ASiTofficial @TMitchellFRCS As the moderator of the session I can confirm that this is not true and a question on PAs was asked by the audience, and all Presidents answered the question.

@RCSnews @ASiTofficial @TMitchellFRCS @RobertaASiT Is it correct that the panel declined to take questions on PA/SCPs and their impact on surgical training during the discussion on surgical training?

'Resident doctors aiming for surgical careers are missing out on vital theatre experience'. At the @asitofficial conference, @TMitchellFRCS calls on the UK government to ensure their training review protects essential surgical training opportunities. 1/2
