Survival Surgeries is a method for generating solidarities in the workplace to recognise and address shared problems. It has been developed by Dr Elizabeth Cotton, a writer, academic and educator with expertise in workers’ education, employment relations, precarious work, and mental health at work.

Survival Surgeries is part of Elizabeth’s website Surviving Work which is well worth a look
