Hi, I’m Jonathan, and I’m running to be your Equipment Officer.

Plastic surgery teaching is only as good as the hands-on experience behind it. Workshops shouldn’t be limited by missing instruments, blunt sutures, or last-minute scrambling and my goal is to make sure every session runs smoothly and professionally so members can focus entirely on learning.

What I will deliver

• Reliable workshop setup: All sessions will be fully prepared in advance with the correct instruments, sutures, models, and consumables so teaching time is maximised rather than spent troubleshooting.
• Consistent equipment quality: I will standardise workshop kits to ensure members practise with appropriate materials — sharp instruments, suitable suture types, and realistic models that reflect clinical practice.
• Better organisation and inventory tracking: I will implement a clear inventory system so equipment is stored properly, restocked early, and never missing on the day of teaching.
• More hands-on opportunities: By managing equipment efficiently, we can run smaller-group teaching and repeated practice sessions rather than one-off demonstrations.
• Conference and course readiness: For larger events and conferences, I will coordinate setup, transport, and technical preparation so stations run on time and without disruption.

My aim is simple: when you attend an iPRAS workshop, everything just works.
