    Major Max Marsden RAMC has won the American College of Surgeons’ Committee on Trauma’s 44th Annual Resident’s Research Prize for ‘best clinical research paper’ for his work Trauma Laparotomy in the UK. It is a wonderful achievement for a non-US based surgeon to scoop this prize.

    With huge thanks to @jason_carl_fox for coming to Defence Medical Services today and sharing his story. Personnel from the Defence mental health community took so much from hearing about his experiences, both when Serving and then in civilian life.
