Global Surgery Course 2025
Working towards universal access to safe, affordable surgical, anaesthesia and obstetric care.
This intensive five-day course, in person, in Oxford, is suitable for those in all disciplines interested in global surgery, anaesthesia and obstetrics. The course comprises presentations, discussions and seminars looking at major topics in global surgery such as burden of disease, health workforce capacity, training, partnership, supplies, service management, research needs, advocacy and ethics, and resource allocation. There will also be a half-day session on practical preparation for going to work in new contexts alongside local surgical teams.
Traditionally surgery has been taught as a technical and practical specialty; however this short course takes a completely different approach and looks at the provision of surgical services at a global level. The term ‘Global Surgery’ in this course encompasses all related specialities including obstetrics, gynaecology and anaesthesia/critical care.
