Welcome to Oxford University Global Surgery Group (OUGSG), a group of clinicians and researchers based in Oxford working together to contribute to the provision of high quality surgical care globally, particularly in low and middle income countries (LMICs).
Our AIMS
- To promote, advocate for and advise on best practice in Global Surgery particularly in the fields of research and training.
- To work closely and under local guidance of colleagues in LMICs
- To provide a forum for meaningful networking between those actively engaged in and those seeking opportunities in global surgery
UNIVERSITY AFFILIATION
OUGSG is affiliated to the four Oxford University departments in the Medical Sciences Division that have an interest in global surgery, namely:
- Nuffield Department of Surgery (NDS) > Global Surgery at NDS

The OUGSG web pages are hosted by NDORMS and the administration of the group is shared between NDS and NDORMS.
We are also linked to the Oxford Global Health & Care Systems (OGHCS) Hub, a cross-departmental initiative within the University of Oxford aimed at promoting multi and inter-disciplinary research to strengthen the health and care systems of countries around the world
