BJS Academy SoMe Review for November 2022
13 December 2022
November 2022 was a special month for the BJS community.
The BJS Society Council winter meeting was again held in London on November 1t6th. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet the new Council members and to learn how the editorial teams are reimagining the future of surgical publishing. In addition, the BJS Society International Award nomination deadline was November 30th.
On social media, we would like to highlight the following tweets and post:
On November 1st, Rebecca Grossman @rebgross tweeted a short report published in @BJSurgery: “Paediatric #appendicitis: international study of management in the #COVID-19 pandemic”. The tweet is here:
