Still have to pinch myself that this is real. What an absolute honour to be the new President @asgbi Thank you so much for a wonderful evening surrounded by so many mentors, friends and colleagues. I look forward to an exciting, fruitful and collaborative future! #Blessed

Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical emergency during pregnancy, and timely diagnosis and management are crucial - though often challenging in clinical practice. We would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete this survey, which aims to better understand current preferences, practice patterns, and the use of clinical practice guidelines in the management of appendicitis in pregnancy.

Great to see🔵BHS represented at #ASGBI. Our President @StellaSmithSurg met with colleagues including the ASGBI President, @SurgeryHPB, and the GIRFT National Clinical Lead for Surgery, @MarkCheetham — with Rupert making a special appearance 🐾 See you at next year's @asgbi!

@DerekAOReilly @asgbi Wonderful to have you join us and bring some of your Chinese colleagues with you. On a personal note, it really brought back great memories when you and I would attend @asgbi together. Look forward to seeing you in Manchester 2027

A great honour to speak at the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, especially under the presidency of my friend @SurgeryHPB . A great meeting, enjoyed by all the delegates: domestic, Chinese and canine! Looking forward to next year's meeting in Manchester.

A little celebration after @asgbi Congress. So much energy, great talks, collaboration, inspiration & a sense of belonging from so many who came to say thank you! Rupert seemed to enjoy the sessions too! Thanks to @SAGES_Updates & see you in Manchester 2027 with @BritishHernia

Rupert rolling his eyes at Sir Lancelot Sprat, luckily consent has moved on now. #ASGBI2026.

@SAGES_Updates @nic_dames @MichaelCrippsMD @asgbi I think I will need to ask Rupert if he’s okay with that. I think he will want to fly business class!

@nic_dames @SurgeryHPB @MichaelCrippsMD @asgbi We'll even throw in Alseidi to seal the deal.

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
