Basecamp Surgeries

The Basecamp Surgeries are a series of one-on-one advice sessions run by external business professionals each with expertise in their field. Each surgery takes place on a Wednesday afternoon. 


To book onto a surgery, please email Will with an overview (the more detail the better) of the issues you need help with. Requests will be prioritised based on these overviews. Requests must be received by 5pm on the Monday before the surgery.
