Weekend well spent in Sydney at the St Luke’s Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship Audit Meeting. Open case discussions, honest reflection, new ideas, and plenty of learning — exactly what good audit meetings should be about, especially in the world of cosmetic surgery. Grateful as a former fellow to be part of this group and to keep learning alongside past and present fellows. Great cases, great company… and an excellent steak 😉🥩
