Improving surgical planning, accuracy and safety with stereotaxis and navigation in #neurosurgery is crucial. Here's a 🧵on how we can use computer-assisted planning to improve & compare between experts around the world! #fig0001" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #newpaper

Medicine is a distinct & elite profession & I’m getting tired of people trying pretend that there’s a shortcut to the years of hard work it takes to become a doctor Tiered rotas are nothing more than gaslighting patients into worse care I’m glad it’s being called out publicly

@OrthopodReg Congratulations Simon! Hope you're enjoying it down under

Choosing to leave the UK, the #NHS, family, and friends was a significant decision, not made lightly or on a whim. I still grapple with feelings of moral injury and guilt for having left, despite knowing it was the right choice for me, my family, and the future work I aspire to do in shaping surgery, particularly in orthopaedic training and culture; a decision that ultimately impacts patient care and outcomes. Despite these challenges, today is a bloody good day in my new, and chosen, home country; I have been awarded my Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS). Without hesitation, I have also applied for my Fellowship of the Australian Orthopaedic Association (FAOrthA) 🦴 🔨

The peerless Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday at 100 years old. I am sure he would want us to celebrate his life by sharing his teaching. He was a wonderful wonderful man, take 9 minutes to learn the plexus from him - youtu.be/R63TkIj0rnY

Professor Harold Ellis died yesterday aged 100. Fond memories of undergraduate anatomy at @Cambridge_Uni an inspiration and mentor to generations of doctors May he rest in peace

Very excited to continue my clinical and translational work as I progress to higher neurosurgical training, and in my future practice! @uclh @QSNeurosurgery @UCLHresearch @GreatOrmondSt @ucl @UCLBrainScience

It goes without saying that none of this work would happen without the fantastic patients and their families who have kindly agreed to be involved, as well as the generous funding of the @wellcometrust, whose contributions to clinical research are invaluable.

Very happy to have been awarded my #PhD from the @UCLBrainScience Queen Square Institute of Neurology! This was a fantastic experience developing and integrating new technologies, including #robotics, a surgical trial, computer-assisted planning tools, #ML & #AI in Neurosurgery.

a first: in rejecting an article I submitted to a journal, reviewer 2 noted I failed to engage the work of one Andre Pagliarini

@hani_marcus @TEQ_Neurosurg Massive congratulations! Well deserved 😃

It’s a real honour to be promoted to full Professor, and I’m deeply grateful to the many mentors, colleagues, and students who’ve made this possible. I feel especially fortunate, within the @TEQ_Neurosurg group, to work at the interface of surgery, neurology, and engineering – and to collaborate with brilliant teams across the @QSNeurosurgery, the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, the UCL Hawkes institute, and now our robotics spin-out, Panda Surgical. Translating technologies from lab to operating theatre has been a real team effort, and the achievement is as much theirs as it is mine.

There is no credible justification for this. Trump administration terminating a broad swath of HIV vaccine research. “This is a setback of probably a decade for HIV vaccine research,” one scientist said. cbsnews.com/news/trump-adm…

@ollieburtonmed @NIHRresearch Congratulations Ollie!

Absolutely overwhelmed and delighted to accept an @NIHRresearch Academic Clinical Fellowship in Neurosurgery. Getting here has been a journey, and would have been completely impossible without the support of my friends, colleagues and mentors. Now the real work starts! 🧠

This is an exciting opportunity and a fantastic team to work with! Highly recommend!

Very lucky to work as part of an excellent team, and particular thanks to Dr Cam Elliott (not on X), and the stellar lineup of external experts @VejayVakharia @Zt_PedNeurosurg Dr Mirza, Mr Tisdall, Dr Li & co-authors & funders that made this work possible!

As promised, here's the follow-up #newpaper that looks more closely at the creation of spatial priors in the adult population for #automated #SEEG planning, now in @FrontNeurol ! frontiersin.org/journals/neuro… @QSNeurosurgery @UCLIoN @TEQ_Neurosurg @uclh @UCLBrainScience #neurosurgery
