@wendymoore99 @RCSnews @HunterianLondon Thanks Wendy - huge privilege and very indebted to this definitive text....!

Brilliant Hunterian Oration by Colonel Prof Nigel Tai at the Royal College of Surgeons of England last night on military medical history - in memory of the timelessly inspiring 18th-century surgeon John Hunter. @RCSnews @HunterianLondon #theknifeman

Nice work from @DMS_MilMed ADMST surgical researcher @maxmarsden83 with partners from @LDNairamb @airambulancekss @CommsC4TS tinyurl.com/bd8eacb9. Shadow pre-hospital study of <clinician> vs <machine> vs <clinician+machine> in predicting #TraumaCoagulopathy....who is best?

I will still be posting from @nigeltai concerning @NHSBartsHealth trauma surgery and @CommsC4TS updates. Many thanks to the amazing colleagues at RLH and @AirborneMedics @16AirAssltBCT and @JHubMED_Defence for bringing me this far. End/x

@MidwinterMJ Very much looking forward to working with fellow military and clinical surgical academics, collaborating with my Def Prof and DCA colleagues, and seeking new opportunities to bring the fruits of surgical research to our service people.

Think this is my first "Honoured to be..." tweet, but... *circumstances*. This week I took up the @RCSNews Chair of Military and Trauma Surgery as Head of the Academic Dept of Military Surgery at @DMS_RCDM 1/x

@TMitchellFRCS Cara is also a recipient of the @RCSnews Research Fellowship and is conducting her research @karolinskainst supervised by @Klas233 and @roryrickard.

Thanks to President @TMitchellFRCS for attending and engaging with our military trainees.

Fantastic day @RCSnews yesterday for the @DMS_MilMed Colt Foundation Research meeting. Congratulations to all the prize winners, especially Surg Lt Cdr Cara Swain @TriScalpel, for winning the lightning presentation category for her PhD work about educational use of LTT.
