💟 February is Oesophageal cancer awareness month Read the 🆕 blog and check out 7️⃣ of the most important studies published in @BJSurgery and @BjsOpen from the past year "The BJS Academy, alongside BJS & BJS Open, feel it is an important part of our mission to contribute to these awareness months. So much research is published with enthusiasm, but then resides solely within the pages of a journal (or latterly, as a lonely PDF on a server). It is important to ensure that new information is shared with people who might find it useful." - @wannabehawkeye #Cancer #Awareness
