Empowering women through innovation, collaboration, and immersive education.
VRiMS WiNS (Women in Surgery) is a pioneering initiative within the Virtual Reality in Medicine and Surgery programme — dedicated to promoting equality, visibility, and leadership opportunities for women in surgical education and practice.
Through immersive technologies like Virtual and Extended Reality, VRiMS WiNS opens new avenues for connection, mentorship, and skill development — bridging geographical and institutional gaps so every aspiring surgeon can learn, lead, and thrive.
