In this blog post, Dr Hannah McGivern, a Tissue Handling Technician for the Quality in Organ Donation (QUOD) initiative at NDS, discusses her involvement in the NDS Virtual Work Experience Programme, and shares how fascinating and rewarding it was to talk with the students about a career in research.

What I'll take away from the work experience week: Try not to make any early rash decisions, keep options open, being a clinician is difficult but rewarding, and research and 'doctoring' aren't completely separate.

Growing greener: Another successful year for sustainability at NDS

Jessica Doondeea

Jessica Doondeea, Laboratory and Facilities Manager and Chair of the NDS Green Committee, summarises another successful year for sustainability at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS).

Designing healthcare for clinician wellbeing and patient safety: Key insights from the Oxford Open Grand Round

Clinician wellbeing and patient safety are closely connected, but supporting healthcare professionals requires more than asking individuals to become more resilient. At this Oxford Open Grand Round, expert panellists Laura Vincent, Lilli Cooper and Helen Higham explored how healthcare environments, workplace culture and system design can help clinicians thrive while delivering safer patient care.

Who smiles in a hospital? Reflections from a week in the world of surgical sciences

Vani Tripathi, a 16-year-old student from London, shares how a week at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences reshaped her understanding of medicine, research and the people at the heart of healthcare.

What’s next for AI in surgery? Key takeaways from the Oxford Open Grand Round

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a future concept in healthcare - it is already reshaping how clinicians work. At the Oxford Open Grand Round, expert panellists Matthew Gardiner, Ryan Kerstein and Katrina Mason explored what AI means for surgery today, where it's heading next, and the challenges that must be addressed along the way.

Beyond the textbook: My transformative week at NDS

London-based student Rohan Savjani reflects on his week of work experience at the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences (NDS), sharing how hands-on research, clinical observations and conversations with inspiring researchers and clinicians strengthened his ambition to pursue a career in medicine and scientific research.
