Matt Costa reflects on his unexpected path from trainee to leading trauma researcher, crediting early mentors, blunt feedback, and persistent collaboration. He outlines how UK network trials grew from new national research structures and a culture of patient-driven prioritization. He emphasizes honest mentorship, the realities of academic careers, and the broadening of impactful research beyond implants to perioperative care. Looking ahead, he highlights global work, especially in LMICs, and sustaining multidisciplinary teams to answer fundamental, patient-centred questions.
