It is a great privilege to stand before you today, with the honour of delivering the Sir George Adlington Syme Oration. I acknowledge Sir Syme as one of the three founders of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS) and its first president. In my research on Sir Syme, I discovered that he was renowned for both his surgical and administrative skills. Today, in delivering this oration, I follow the legacy started by Charles H. Fagge in 1932.

This paper will describe explanatory factors, treatment experiences and what helps with recovery for Māori. Kaupapa Māori research methodology informed the methods and analysis.
