GASOC CIC was established to encourage healthcare trainees and sub-consultant grade medical professionals to engage responsibly and impact fully in global surgery. We were incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 as a Community Interest Company on 11th September 2023. From September 2023 – 2024, GASOC has impact the world of global surgery in numerous ways, including: - Free and subsidised training opportunities for our global community of member’s - Annual International Conference – Hybrid, held on 23rd September 2023 in Oxford UK and online, attended by individuals across 49 different countries around the globe. This year’s overarching theme on ‘Health Equity in Global Surgery, O&G and Anaesthesia” highlighted the ongoing efforts and challenges towards equitable access to safe surgical, obstetric and anaesthetic care globally and how trainees globally can make a positive impact in these areas. We hosted various international speakers, delivered various workshops and talks, as well as awarding presentation and essay prizes. - Frugal Innovation Skills Course – freely available educational programme, delivered online, comprising of eight asynchronous taught modules covering a range of innovation and research skills for surgeons (and allied specialties such as anaesthesia, obstetrics, and trauma care practitioners). The programme equipped participants with knowledge to find solutions to unmet needs which they can apply to practice in resource constrained settings. The aim is that, after the course, innovation projects will be co-developed and delivered by innovation leaders in low resource environments. - Local and Regional events – including, GASOC Yorkshire Regional Event, held in Leeds in July 2024, to encourage discussion, networking opportunities and increased engagement for trainees interest in global health. - Bi-monthly journal clubs – held virtually addressing research within global anaesthesia, surgery and obstetrics delivered in collaboration with speakers from around the globe. - Research – ongoing collaborative research projects have been developed through our research and innovation working groups. - Collaboration – this year, we have continued to collaborate with individuals and several global organisations including, but not limited to; RCSEd, MedAll, Lifebox, MedTech Foundation, Association of Surgeons in Training, NIHR Global Health Research Unit on Global Surgery, Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCOA), Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery (VRiMS), OhanaOne, Diamedica, GynaeFellow, Knowledge for Change and Medical Defence Union (MDU).
GASOC CIC’s stakeholders are its global members, organisations which we have collaborated during this year, our active committee and our advisory panel. The directors of GASOC CIC are current or previous committee members, and have an understanding of the day-to-day workings, challenges and potentials for impact within the realm of global health. They are thus passionate about advocating for their global community and regularly seek feedback its stakeholders. In addition to its regular committee meetings, a formal annual general meeting (AGM) is held between the active committee members, board of directors and advisory panel. We regularly ask for verbal and written feedback from our members and have been able to make changes because of this. We encourage collaboration between members, aiming to support sustainable global change and empower future leaders, and have been encouraged to see individuals lead their own initiatives to impact their own regions.
