One of my favourite videos ever — @bbcnickrobinson, the voice of British journalism, announcing the end of SCIENCEstudy.org recruitment. Results coming very, very soon. Can we convince Nick to return to share the biggest orthopaedic news of 2025? @NIHRresearch @BSCOS_UK
It’s been a journey - but it’s done. I’ve finished the Program for Leadership Development at @HarvardHBS — Harvard’s accelerated Executive MBA alternative. Grateful to faculty, my Learning Group, my colleagues and my family for all the support. 🙏 #PLD40 #HBS #Leadership
