1/ IMPORTANT🧵: Its been a busy week. A new #workforceplan- (supposedly) #RETENTION central to it, to help #CutWaitingLists. But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY. I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

Today marks the end of my first six months @NewcastleHosps as a Consultant and I've enjoyed every second of it. Sorry @NUTHheadandneck and @NewcastleENTSLT....my compulsory probation period is now over - you're all stuck with me!

What an unbelievable 2 months with @CaitlinCosway and my little lady. 3 and a half weeks in a motorhome hiking in the Highlands was just one of the many amazing highlights. Looking forward to joining @NUTHheadandneck at @NewcastleHosps tomorrow but for now #gothatwaydaddy

@JenButlerSLT Just got back from 3 weeks in Scotland and agree it was incredible. Do add the Icefields Parkway and the Tioga Pass to your list too - phenomenal.

Show me a more spectacular road than the one passing through the #glencoe valley and I’ll eat my hat ❤️ (and add it to my ‘to visit’ list) #scotland #highlands #mountains #outofoffice

@winipoo2000 @CaitlinCosway and I are interested! 👍

Palliative care in head and neck cancer: what should we be researching? Fantastic to be part of this cross speciality group (which includes patients) to set research priorities. Let me know if you would like to join

Lesson from day 1 of my 2 months off..if I call my daughter my favourite LITTLE lady it is NOT ok to call my wife @CaitlinCosway my favourite BIG lady.

@winipoo2000 @SouthTees @NUTHheadandneck @NewcastleHosps At least Graham knows where to get them from then 🤣

@BenCosway @SouthTees @NUTHheadandneck @NewcastleHosps That's my favourite instrument too!! I have one. But it's on MY TRAY 😂

HUGE thank-you to the team @SouthTees for an amazing year as their TIG Head and Neck Fellow. Theatre staff bought me my favourite instrument I'm always asking for - (which is packed separately 🤣). Now ready to start @NUTHheadandneck at @NewcastleHosps in September!

@CaitlinCosway 🤣🤣. Sorry not got my level 4 for cleaning.

The husband @BenCosway has completed surgical training. Well done! It is apparent however, that he has not completed training for housework etc. and I fear this may take many more years… #keepinghimgrounded

@JenButlerSLT @SouthTees @NUTHheadandneck @NewcastleHosps Well couldn't possibly be seen as uncool 🤣. Hope we shall cross paths soon

@BenCosway @SouthTees @NUTHheadandneck @NewcastleHosps Glad you had such a good year! Sad I’ll have flown the nest by the time you’re back at NUTH….. though I hear all the cool HNC surgeons and laryngologists do outreach clinics at Northumbria 😎 so if you’re feeling cool… hit me up ✌️

Looking forward to it!

Honoured to be a part of this tomorrow evening. @VinPaleri will be showcasing his work in robotics and I'll be giving a trainee perspective on robotics training in the UK. Be sure to tune in!

@VinPaleri @NewcastleHosps @NUTHheadandneck Thanks Vin!

@BenCosway @NewcastleHosps @NUTHheadandneck @NUTHheadandneck is the place to be, Ben! Many congratulations..

A decade ago I came to Newcastle for my first 2 years as a doctor. Now 10 years, 22 rotations, 2 houses, 1 home, a marriage and a baby later and I have just been appointed as a Consultant Head and Neck Surgeon/Laryngologist @NewcastleHosps and @NUTHheadandneck!
