The 2018 Future of Surgery report envisioned an extraordinary future, from AI-assisted surgeries to robots in the operating room. Are these predictions becoming a reality? Our latest #Bulletin explores how much progress has been made. Read the article: ow.ly/v4mH50Q3sZV

5 years ago @RCSnews set up a Commission to look at where Surgery will be at 5, 10 and 20 years. How accurate was the panel? @MaxBenButler looks at where we are now. Were the commission right? @DrNadineHH @DrTonyYoung @axelsylvan @ercstjohn @_JoshBurke_ publishing.rcseng.ac.uk/doi/full/10.13…

@TheBaldEagle86 @jhackett__ I think this gives a truer comparison of national spread, as before 100 cases it’s more down to chance, e.g. one person deciding to not to leave their house for a few days (not an epidemiologist, so just my guess)

@TheBaldEagle86 @jhackett__ Most of the graphs/calcs use the 100th case as 'day 0'

An afternoon spent delivering complex #IR with @Premal__Patel for a very special and brave young lady I’ve known and treated for 15 years... I asked her if I could tweet about it. ‘Yes! Make me famous so I don’t have to sit my GCSEs’. She may have overestimated my Twitter powers!

29% of patients that need to see a neurologist wait more than 12 months - National Neurology Patient Experience Survey. With #myelopathy, delays mean distress and a risk of permanent disability. My summary: myelopathy.org/delayed-diagno… @NeuroAlliance @myelopathyorg @myelopathysupp

Today is #NationalPlayDay. That somehow meant face painting in #paedsIR this afternoon. @Premal__Patel applied his keenly-honed fine motor skills to painting our visiting medical student @MaxBenButler @socpedsir @GreatOrmondSt @BSIR_News @AnnewmHo @kish_minhas @gnannt @fermgmez
