Our second session was led by the esteemed Dr @janetmartinwho, featuring an insightful talk by Mr @willboltontiger

Brilliant talk from @willboltontiger on evaluating innovation in a global setting. “Evaluations should be context specific but whilst ensuring this - there is a need to make sure we do not under or over evaluate.” #ideal2024 #globalideal #frugalinnovation

Fantastic talks at the @IDEALCollab conference today. Particularly @BruceBiccard presenting his work on practical, deliverable research and how improved processes combined with resources can develop quality of care. Food for thought! #GlobalSurgery #OrthoTwitter
