Autumn Edition JASGBI – Imagineering the future of the ASGBI, Surgery and Healthcare Delivery

Director of Communications, pp 1 - 2

Welcome to the Autumn 2014 edition of the Journal of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland. As usual, we seek to inform, interest, update, entertain and sometimes to challenge you with articles and subject matter from the broad church of general surgery in the UK and Ireland.
