I was honoured to be involved in the recent combined AGES & UGSA preconference robotic surgery workshop, an area that I'm deeply passionate about, and also to be invited to speak at the conference on a topic close to my heart "Seeing is Believing." What we see shapes what we can do for our patients. Surgical vision is everything.
However, I realise that the title cuts both ways. Seeing is believing applies just as much to people who we work alongside. I want to extend my gratitude to my team, who went above and beyond, not only helping me to see better as a surgeon, but also believing in what I'm doing. That kind of belief is rare and more precious than any technology in the operating theatre, and I never take it for granted.
