This International Women’s Day, we proudly celebrate the incredible women who make up the GamMed team.

From our female surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses, operating department practitioners, physiotherapists, and radiologists, these professionals bring expertise, compassion, and dedication to every patient they care for. Their skill, leadership, and commitment are at the heart of what we do, ensuring safe procedures, excellent outcomes, and outstanding patient support at every stage of the journey.

The GamMed Female Team is a reflection of this strength — a team of highly skilled women working together, supporting one another, and inspiring the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Today we recognise and thank these remarkable women for the difference they make every single day.

✈️🌍 GamMed Heads to The Gambia in Two Weeks! 🇬🇲

In just two weeks, the GamMed team will be travelling back to The Gambia for what promises to be an incredibly busy and impactful trip.

We already have a high volume of surgical patients highlighted for urgent procedures, and our team is preparing for full theatre lists from the moment we arrive. Every case represents not just treatment, but hope, healing, and partnership.

Alongside surgery, education remains at the heart of what we do. The Gambian team has requested specific teaching topics, and our GamMed clinicians have been working hard behind the scenes to prepare focused, practical sessions tailored to local needs. We’re excited to share knowledge, learn from our colleagues, and continue building sustainable skills together.

One of our main focuses will be early warning scoring to allow the local team to quickly identify and manage deteriorating patients.

This trip will be intense, collaborative, and deeply meaningful — and we can’t wait to get started.

Thank you to everyone supporting us…We’ll keep you updated along the way!🇬🇲 🇬🇧

In just 4 weeks’ time, the GamMed team will be returning to The Gambia to continue our work alongside our valued local colleagues at the Edward Francis Small Teaching Hospital.

We have already received a significant number of complex referrals, and we are preparing for what promises to be a very busy and rewarding week. Our team will be undertaking clinical assessments, delivering surgical procedures, supporting peri-operative care, and providing essential post-operative rehabilitation and physiotherapy.

We are especially looking forward to reviewing patients who were under our care in November and seeing the progress they have made. Continuity of care is at the heart of what we do, and it is a privilege to continue supporting patients on their journey to recovery.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work. More updates to follow as we prepare for the trip. 🇬🇲

With less than seven weeks to go, preparations for the next GamMed outreach trip are well underway.

Our team is currently working behind the scenes to ensure everything is in place for the mission to run safely and effectively. This includes preparing and checking surgical equipment to enable essential procedures to go ahead, as well as anaesthetic equipment to ensure patients can be put to sleep safely and carefully monitored throughout their surgery.

We have already received a high number of referrals, many for patients who are awaiting urgent treatment. These referrals highlight the significant need for specialist surgical care and reinforce the importance of this upcoming outreach.

The trip will be delivered by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team, made up of consultant surgeons, consultant anaesthetists, operating department practitioners, nurses, physiotherapists, and radiologists. Each professional plays a crucial role, from diagnosis and surgery to recovery and rehabilitation, ensuring patients receive comprehensive and high-quality care.

As the countdown continues, the focus remains on preparation, teamwork, and impact. Every piece of equipment packed and every plan finalised brings us closer to providing life-changing care to those who need it most 🇬🇲 🇬🇧

Today one of our team delivered an inspiring educational assembly to local school children. 🌍💙

With warmth, clarity, and genuine passion, Jo brought GamMed’s surgical outreach trips to life—sharing stories of teamwork, compassion, and the real impact that access to surgery can have on individuals, families, and entire communities around the world. What could have been a complex topic was transformed into an engaging and age-appropriate journey that captured young imaginations and sparked thoughtful questions.

Through discussion and images, the children learned that medicine isn’t just about hospitals and instruments—it’s about people helping people, crossing borders, and using skills to make a meaningful difference. The assembly encouraged curiosity, empathy, and a sense of global responsibility, planting seeds that may one day grow into future healthcare workers, volunteers, or advocates for change.

Moments like these remind us that GamMed’s impact goes far beyond the operating theatre. By educating and inspiring the next generation, Todays assembly has helped extend the reach of GamMed’s mission—showing students that no one is too young to care about the world, and that small actions can lead to life-changing outcomes.

Today demonstrated how the GamMed team work with such passion and purpose, inspiring young minds to believe in the power of compassion, education, and global health.

Thank you to Our Lady Of Lourdes for welcoming us and raising an incredible £347 for GamMed

In the Gambia many patients with injuries use traditional medicine and Healers. Fractures are often bound with sticks and then do not heal in the correct position resulting in significant permanent deformity. The resulting deformities would pose a significant orthopaedic challenge to reconstruct the limb in the Western World, let alone in The Gambia 🇬🇲
